Name and history
[编辑]It is one of nineteen Harrison Townships statewide.[4]
The area within the modern borders of Harrison Township was first settled in 1810, but it was abandoned after Native American attacks; no settlers returned until after the end of the War of 1812.[5]:557 American soldiers built two forts in 1813 for that war within the bounds of the present township: Fort Black, near Main Street in present-day New Madison,[5]:556 and Fort Nesbitt, in Section 32.[5]:557 After the war's end, some settlers returned to the area, along with many former residents of Kentucky.[5]:558 Growth in population enabled Harrison Township to be formed by splitting Twin Township in May 1818;[5]:556 its initial area was reduced by the formation of German Township in 1820.[5]:552 The first school was established in the township in 1819, while the township's first church was a Church of Christ.[5]:558
