Hartland Travel Guide — Things to Do, Food & Hotels

About Hartland

The first European settler in the area of what would become Hartland was William Orser (b.1762) and his son William Jr. William traveled there from New York with his wife and six children. The town was named Hartland in 1874, to honour James R. Hartley, a surveyor and member of the province's legislature. The town is best known for being the site of the Hartland Bridge, the longest covered bridge in the world. It opened on July 4, 1901. The bridge was covered as part of major repairs in 1921, and the pedestrian walkway added in 1945.
