Hartford was incorporated in 1896, and the railroad arrived in 1900, which helped the town become known for its pine timber and turpentine industries. Many fine homes built from the yellow heartpine remain standing today. The first major cash crop was cotton, followed by peanuts, soybeans, corn, oats, wheat, vegetables, cattle and calves, hogs and poultry.

Agriculture remains the primary industry
contributing to the economy of the county, with poultry now the leading moneymaker. Many farmers diversify. The traditional crops are augmented by several local mills busily processing peanuts and peanut products, fertilizers, and feeds.
  
Aquaculture and bait farming are also rapidly growing sources of revenue for the area. Other industries include Van Heusen and Dale Sportswear, both producing
quality men's shirts.

  
Geneva's industrial products include wholesale
foods, clothing, tools, printed materials, bleachers, and ready-mix concrete.
  
Samson has several industries, including a plastic pipe company. Also adding to employment advantages are city and county government offices, utility companies, and educational facilities, among others.
