Hardgate has probably been settled since [[Neolithic]] times with a burial site at Knappers Farm, the [[Cochno Stone]] (a [[cup and ring mark]]ed stone), and a [[Chamber tomb|burial chamber]] near [[Cochno Loch]] providing evidence of this.<ref name=clydebankstory>{{cite web|url=http://www.theclydebankstory.com/story_TCSA08.php |title=The Leading The Clydebank Story Site on the Net |publisher=TheClydebankStory.com |date= |accessdate=2014-06-18}}</ref> Although it is a far older settlement, it is administratively part of nearby [[Clydebank]] along with the neighbouring village of [[Duntocher]] and now lies in the [[West Dunbartonshire]] local authority area. Along with Duntocher and [[Faifley]], Hardgate falls within West Dunbartonshiire's ''Kilpatrick'' ward with a combined population of 12,719 in 2011.<ref>[https://www.west-dunbarton.gov.uk/council/about-west-dunbartonshire/council-ward-boundaries-and-profiles/kilpatrick-ward/ Kilpatrick Central Ward - Area Profile], [[West Dunbartonshire Council]]</ref> Dunn's Mills operated a cotton mill in the 19th century. It continued to produce thread and yarn until its destruction during the [[Clydebank Blitz]] in 1941.<ref>{{cite book|last=Hood|first=John|title=Old Bowling, Duntocher, Hardgate, Milton and Old Kilpatrick|publisher=Stenlake Publishing|isbn=1840333197|page=45}}</ref> The village expanded due to house building by the [[Clydebank]] town council after [[World War II]], and later by the [[George Wimpey|Wimpey]] firm in the early 1970s on what had been [[green belt]] land. The village has one [[non-denominational]] school, Goldenhill Primary School. ==References== {{reflist}} ==External links== {{commons category-inline|Hardgate, West Dunbartonshire}} {{Areas of Clydebank}} {{West Dunbartonshire Settlements}} {{authority control}} [[Category:Villages in West Dunbartonshire]] [[Category:Neolithic Scotland]] [[Category:Clydebank]] {{WestDunbartonshire-geo-stub}}
