Hardy (surname)
Hardy is a surname of French-Norman, English, Scottish and Irish origin. It appears that the oldest usage is from the Old French ''hardi'' meaning “bold, courageous" which itself comes from Old Frankish ''hardjan'' meaning "to make hard". The final ''-y'' is also typical of the French proper names (first names, surnames and place names, with the notable exception ''Henri'', when it is a given name). Some of the oldest Hardy families in England seem to originate from a Norman Knight de Hardy in the mid 11th century. English Hardy families can mainly be found around Dorset and Yorkshire. In Scotland Hardi is considered to have Norman, Viking or Celtic orgins and is mainly a Lowland surname. Scottish Hardy's are mainly affiliated with Clan Mackintosh as a sept and the larger Clan Chattan Federation. Hardy could also be an anglicized form of the Irish ''Mac Giolla Deacair'' meaning "son of the hard lad".http://www.ancestry.com/facts/Hardy-family-history.ashx Notable ...

Hardy Dam
Hardy Dam (or Hardy Hydroelectric Plant) is an earth-filled embankment dam and powerplant complex on the Muskegon River in Big Prairie Township, Newaygo County, Michigan. At the time of its completion, it was the largest earthen dam in North America east of the Mississippi. Its impoundment forms a lake with over 50 miles of shoreline. The dam impounds a reservoir with a surface area of 4,000 acres (1,618 ha) and its power plant has an installed capacity of 31.5 MW. History After considerable investigation and planning by Consumers Energy in the 1920s, construction on the Hardy Dam began in 1929. It was designed by William G. Fargo and construction was carried out by his company, Fargo Engineering. Large amounts of concrete were placed into the foundation as solid bedrock was not present, particularly in the streambed. Allied Engineers began constructing the power plant in the autumn of 1929. In August 1930 the Muskegon River was diverted through the power plant penstocks and away ...

Hardy County, West Virginia
Hardy County is a county in the U.S. state of West Virginia. As of the 2020 census, the population was 14,299. Its county seat is Moorefield. The county was created from Hampshire County in 1786 and named for Samuel Hardy, a distinguished Virginian. History The first European known to visit this area was John Van Meter in 1725. The earliest permanent European settlements were established in the 1730s. Hardy County was formed in 1786 from Hampshire County in Virginia. It was one of fifty counties admitted to the Union as the state of West Virginia in 1863. That year, the newly independent state's counties were divided into civil townships, with the intention of encouraging local government. This proved impractical in the heavily rural state, and in 1872 the townships were converted into magisterial districts. Hardy County was divided into three districts: Capon, Lost River, and Moorefield. A fourth district, South Fork, was formed in 1873 from part of Moorefield Distri ...

The route runs from Interstate 610 near central Houston to Interstate 45 just south of the Harris– Montgomery county line. The road generally parallels Interstate 45.

Cape Hardy
Cape Hardy is a high, dune-capped granite headland on the eastern coast of Eyre Peninsula and which protrudes into Spencer Gulf in South Australia. It is located between the towns of Port Neill and Tumby Bay, north-northeast of Lipson Cove. Geography and geology The cape is generally barren of vegetation other than low scrub. To the north and south of the cape are a series of low headland-bound white sandy beaches, backed by low dunes and farmland. Public access is limited to the Cape Hardy track and there are currently no facilities present. The surrounding beaches tend to face east to southeast and usually receive low swell and wind waves less than high. Early history Cape Hardy is named after surveyor Alfred Hardy (1813–1870). The first European to explore this coastline, in 1802, was the British navigator Matthew Flinders, but, although he named many features, he did not name this cape. Later in 1802 the French navigator Nicolas Baudin also sailed past, giving it ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hardy Town, Gibraltar
Hardy Town was a temporary civilian settlement established near the south end of the Gibraltar peninsula during the Great Siege of Gibraltar (1779–83). The intensive Spanish and French bombardment reduced the town of Gibraltar to ruins and prompted many of its inhabitants, and eventually the off-duty members of the British garrison, to relocate to a spot out of range of the enemy's land-based guns (though as they discovered, they were still vulnerable to naval gunfire). After it became known for its appalling conditions, a British quartermaster named Hardy was put in charge of the settlement and it acquired his name. Hardy Town was eventually abandoned and torn down after the siege ended and the population moved back to Gibraltar's main town within the city walls. Establishment Despite the fighting during the siege, many civilians remained alongside the British garrison to endure four years of Spanish and French bombardment. Gibraltar's civilian inhabitants found themselves in a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hardy, South Australia
__NOTOC__ Hardy is a locality in the Australian state of South Australia located about north of the state capital of Adelaide and about east of the municipal seat in Peterborough. Hardy’s boundaries were created on 31 August 2000 for the “local established name” which is derived from the cadastral unit of the Hundred of Hardy. On 26 April 2013, a portion on its eastern side was added to the new locality of Warnes with the result that all of its boundaries now align with those of the Hundred of Hardy. Land use within the locality is ’primary production’ and is concerned with “agricultural production and the grazing of stock on relatively large holdings.” The 2016 Australian census which was conducted in August 2016 reports that Hardy had no people living within its boundaries. Hardy is located within the federal division of Grey, the state electoral district of Stuart and the local government area of the District Council of Peterborough The District Coun ...

Hardy River
The Hardy River ( es, Río Hardy) is a -long Mexican river formed by residual agricultural waters from the Mexicali Valley, and running into the Colorado River. The river is believed to have been an ancient channel of the Colorado, as well as the primary outflow for the prehistoric Lake Cahuilla. History In prehistoric times, during the Holocene, the Colorado River periodically flowed north into the Salton Sink, forming a large lake called Lake Cahuilla. Eventually, this lake would fill, to about 30 feet above sea level, and at that point overflow its banks near Cerro Prieto, and run south to the Gulf of California; during those times, the Rio Hardy served as an overflow channel for Lake Cahuilla. In the 19th century, an English lieutenant, R. W. H. Hardy, explored the Colorado River Delta, and noted that the main channel of the Colorado followed this course. Later, in the 1880s, sea captains noted that the main channel of the Colorado had moved east; this earlier channel became ...
