The history of the last name Hagadone

The surname Hagadone has its origins in England, dating back to the 16th century. It is believed to be a locational name, derived from a place called Haggaden or Haggerdon, which was likely a small hamlet or village in one of the northern English counties.

Historically, the name has been spelled in various ways, including Hagadone, Haggadone, Haggadon, and Haggadane. These variations reflect the inconsistencies in spelling and record-keeping during the medieval and early modern periods.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in the parish registers of Kirkby Lonsdale, Westmorland (now Cumbria), where a certain John Hagadone was mentioned in 1593.

In the 17th century, the Hagadone family appears to have been well-established in the village of Brough, located in the East Ward of Westmorland. A notable figure from this time was William Hagadone (1624-1689), who served as the vicar of Brough from 1658 until his death.

As the centuries progressed, members of the Hagadone family dispersed to other parts of England and even ventured abroad. In the late 18th century, a branch of the family settled in the United States, with records indicating the presence of Hagadones in Pennsylvania and New York.

One of the earliest American Hagadones of note was James Hagadone (1764-1842), a farmer and Revolutionary War veteran who lived in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. His grandson, William Hagadone (1816-1888), was a prominent businessman and politician in Bradford County, Pennsylvania.

Another notable figure was Hiram Hagadone (1836-1908), a Union Army veteran during the American Civil War. After the war, he became a successful businessman and philanthropist in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

In the 20th century, one of the most famous individuals with the Hagadone surname was Duane Hagadone (1932-2022), an American businessman and real estate developer from Idaho. He was the founder of the Hagadone Corporation and played a significant role in the development of the resort town of Coeur d'Alene.

While the Hagadone name has its roots in England, it has since spread to various parts of the world, with notable bearers contributing to various fields, including religion, politics, business, and military service.
