The Kent County League, currently known as the haart of Kent County League for sponsorship reasons, is a football competition based in Kent, England. The league has four senior divisions – a Premier Division, Division One Division Two East and West, plus reserve divisions. It sits below the Kent Invicta Football League (step 6 of the National League System) after the Invicta league's formation in 2011.
In the 2012–13 season, there are 16 clubs in the Premier Division. The bottom two clubs face relegation to the regional lower divisions. Clubs from a number of smaller district leagues may be eligible to gain promotion to the County League. In 2008 clubs from the Bromley & District League, Canterbury & District League, Maidstone & District League, Rochester & District League and the South London Alliance joined the County League.

“Main Street was never the same. I read Gide and tried to
translate Proust. Now nothing is real except French wine.

And I shall die an old Parisian.”
—Conrad Kent Rivers (1933–1968)
“But I would say to my fellows, once for all, As long as possible live free and uncommitted. It makes but little difference whether you are committed to a farm or the county jail.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Stereotypes fall in the face of humanity. You toodle along, thinking that all gay men wear leather after dark and should never, ever be permitted around a Little League field. And then one day your best friend from college, the one your kids adore, comes out to you.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
