The population was 247 at the 2020 census.<ref name="USCensusEst2020-2021">{{cite web |title=City and Town Population Totals: 2020-2021 |url=https://www.census.gov/data/tables/time-series/demo/popest/2020s-total-cities-and-towns.html |website=Census.gov |publisher=US Census Bureau |access-date=14 July 2022}}</ref> The borough, as well as the adjoining township of Hartley, are both named for Colonel [[Thomas Hartley]], American politician and [[American Revolutionary War|Revolutionary War]] leader, and local landowner. An alternative name was Hartleyton and later shortened to the present name. The original name was Kester's (akin to Keister today), and named for Peter Kester who was the first tenant of Hartley. Kester's was at the intersection of "great Reuben Haines road" from Northumberland through Dry Valley, New Berlin and the Penns Valley Narrows, and the first public road laid out in the area by [[Northumberland County, Pennsylvania|Northumberland County]] court from Northumberland through Derrstown (Lewisburg) and Mifflinburg (this road from Derrstown through the Penns Valley Narrows eventually became what is known as the turnpike). Hartley never lived there, as his home was in [[York, PA]]. Hartley acquired the land in 1784 from original purchaser Colonel Philip Cole after Cole left the area because of the "[[Big Runaway]]" of 1778. Cole purchased the land in 1773, and was living there in 1775. Hartley laid out a town as early as 1798, and the first lot sold in 1799. ==Geography== Hartleton is located at {{Coord|40|54|1|N|77|9|19|W|type:city}} (40.900148, -77.155229).<ref name="GR1">{{cite web|url=https://www.census.gov/geographies/reference-files/time-series/geo/gazetteer-files.html|publisher=[[United States Census Bureau]]|accessdate=2011-04-23|date=2011-02-12|title=US Gazetteer files: 2010, 2000, and 1990}}</ref> According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the borough has a total area of {{convert|0.9|sqmi|km2}}, all land. ==Demographics== {{US Census population |align=left |1870= 292 |1880= 300 |1890= 261 |1900= 237 |1910= 160 |1920= 161 |1930= 169 |1940= 208 |1950= 240 |1960= 234 |1970= 223 |1980= 220 |1990= 246 |2000= 260 |2010= 283 |2020= 247 |estyear=2021 |estimate=248 |estref=<ref name="USCensusEst2020-2021"/> |footnote=Sources:<ref name="USDecennialCensus">{{cite web|title=Census of Population and Housing|url=https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/decennial-census.html|publisher=U.S. Census Bureau|accessdate=11 December 2013}}</ref><ref name="GR2">{{cite web|url=https://www.census.gov|publisher=[[United States Census Bureau]]|accessdate=2008-01-31|title=U.S. Census website}}</ref><ref name=CensusPopEst>{{cite web|title=Incorporated Places and Minor Civil Divisions Datasets: Subcounty Resident Population Estimates: April 1, 2010 to July 1, 2012|url=https://www.census.gov/popest/data/cities/totals/2012/SUB-EST2012.html|work=Population Estimates|publisher=U.S. Census Bureau|accessdate=11 December 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130611010502/http://www.census.gov/popest/data/cities/totals/2012/SUB-EST2012.html|archive-date=11 June 2013|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name="USCensusDecennial2020CenPopScriptOnly">{{cite web|url=https://api.census.gov/data/2020/dec/pl?get=P1_001N,NAME&for=place:*&in=state:42&key=5ccd0821c15d9f4520e2dcc0f8d92b2ec9336108|title=Census Population API|publisher=United States Census Bureau|accessdate=Oct 12, 2022}}</ref> }} As of the [[census]]<ref name="GR2" /> of 2000, there were 260 people, 89 households, and 71 families residing in the borough.
