History

Formed in 1843 from Hardin County

An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.

Larue County was created from Hardin County on March 1, 1843, and named after John LaRue. In 1886, Larue gained a small area from Hart County to accommodate a local property owner.

Boundary changes from the Newberry Library, Atlas of Historical County Boundaries.
