Hardin is an unincorporated community in Jefferson County, Arkansas, United States.

In 1952 a junior high building in the Dollarway complex for white children opened.

[5] A legal document stated "that building or its facilities came in need of substantial repairs or renovations which the District was unwilling or unable to make".

[4] Pinecrest Elementary School had opened in 1961 to take overflow students from the Hardin area.

[4] John B. Pickhardt, an alumnus of University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, wrote that opposition to being in Dollarway had built up over decades partly due to the 1964 closure of the Hardin school and partly because the Dollarway board of education chose not to appoint anybody from Hardin to vill a vacancy, even though the perception elsewhere in the district was that Hardin residents did not want racially integrated schools.

[11] The exception was with the pre-kindergarten levels, as all PBSD areas are now assigned to Forrest Park/Greenville School, including the territory from the former Dollarway district.
