A Look Back at Hader's History
Hader was first started way back in 1857 by a person named Otis F. Smith. When it was founded, there was a big plan for Hader to become the "county seat." A county seat is the main town in a county where the government offices are located.
However, these plans didn't work out as expected. The area wasn't fully developed, and only a few buildings were constructed at that time. So, Hader never became the county seat.
