HARRISON COUNTY MISSOURI -
Established: Feb.14, 1845 Parent County:
Daviess County Seat: Bethany Named After: Albert G. Harrison,
Missouri congressman
Situated in the north
northwestern part of the State, is bounded on the north by the Iowa State
line. The surface is principally prairie, but in some sections broken.
The timber is mostly confined to the margins of water courses, and
consists of white, black, pin, and burr oak, walnut, sugar tree, maple,
linn, sycamore, birch, cherry, cottonwood, hackberry, ash, hickory, etc.,
which skirt the streams, and stand here and there in groves. The soil is
generally fertile, and produces all kinds of grain, fruit and vegetables
that grow in this latitude. There are fifteen sawmills and three flouring
mills on Grand River and Big Creek. There is other fine waterpower
unimproved. The inducements to immigration are, rich soil, good timber,
healthy climate, clear, rapid streams, and good demand for all articles
produced. This is an excellent county for stock
growing.
