History
The first people to come to Hardeman County looking for permanent residence came in 1819-20. They came from middle Tennessee, Virginia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Kentucky. The first town in Hardeman County was established in 1823 on the banks of the Big Hatchie, the Indian name for the river. It was appropriately called Hatchie Town. The new site, the county seat, still bore the name Hatchie until by Act of the Tennessee State Legislature, on October 18, 1825, it was changed to Bolivar. Bolivar was named for Gen. Simon Bolivar, the South American patriot and liberator.
Hardeman County was officially organized on October 16, 1823, and was named for Thomas Jones Hardeman, a veteran of the War of 1812, who served as the first county court clerk and a commissioner for Bolivar before moving to Texas in 1835. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Coug7887 (talk • contribs) 02:17, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
Pronunciation
I always hear them pronounce it as though it rhymes with "olive," totally dropping the final syllable. 207.59.211.146 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 16:58, 15 September 2010 (UTC).
Wow, first butchering it to make it rhyme with "Oliver" and now this? Are these hicks ignorant or what? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.50.242.153 (talk) 04:23, 21 November 2013 (UTC)
The first commenter is mishearing things, and the second one is a total tool. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 170.142.177.241 (talk) 17:09, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
