Some people might describe Hartville, as being in the middle of nowhere, but the U.S. Census Bureau on Tuesday, announced that it's the closest town to the middle of the nation. The hamlet of about 600 people in the Missouri Ozarks is located about 15 miles from the center of the U.S.
The town is the type of place where families have been farming for generations, everybody knows each other and people stay for the “small-town living,” said Sabrina Gilliland, 38, a paralegal for the local prosecutor, who lives on a family farm with her four children, cattle, pigs and chickens. “We are truly the heart of America,” Moon said. “This small town represents what’s great about America still: People are neighbors, people take time for each other and they help each other.”
