History

Harrisville was platted by John Wells, Thomas Gray, Store Hutchinson, and Robert Dutton on October 19, 1814. The plat was filed on January 9, 1815 with John Wells as proprietor. In 1834, local women made one of the first known demands for women’s suffrage. A petition signed by thirty-five women called on Congress to abolish slavery in the District of Columbia, and for “immediate enfranchisement of every human being that shall tread this soil.”

During Morgan’s Raid, a Union victory in the Civil War in 1863, Confederate Brig. Gen. John Hunt Morgan traveled through the Moorefield, Harrisville, New Athens, Smithfield, New Alexandria, Wintersville, Two Ridge, Richmond, East Springfield, Bergholz, and Monroeville on his way to defeat at the Battle of Salineville.
