Geography

[edit]

According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP covers an area of 0.2 square miles (0.6 km2), all of it land.

History

[edit]

Hartland was named for two of the first pioneer settlers of the area, William Michael Hart, and his wife, Sarah Matilda Land. Hart and Land traveled by covered wagon to California sometime in the early 1850s.[4] All five of their daughters, and one son were born in the Angel's Camp gold-mining area, where the Harts operated a small school for the Angel's camp miners' children.[5] The 1870s saw the family living down south in the Tulare Co. towns of Venice, Kaweah & Mineral King (at the edge of the King's Canyon National Park), Orosi, Squaw Valley, and finally Eshom Valley in the 1880s. The town of Hartland was named for the couple, as a composite of both their last names.
