The post office of Hartland was established on March 23, 1908. Ward County folklore says that the name was meant to show the town as the heart of the area.

The grocery store building was moved from Foxholm, Ward County, North Dakota to Hartland. It was later turned into a residence and then moved to Berthold, North Dakota where it is still lived in.
