About Harrisville, MI

The place was first known as Davison's Mill after Crosier Davison, who in partnership with Simeon Holden, had purchased land and water power rights here in 1854. Benjamin Harris and his sons, Levi and Henry, of West Bloomfield, New York bought out the partners. A post office established on September 16, 1857 was named Harrisville, with Levi as the first postmaster. The Harris sold out to Weston, (George L.) Colwell & Company, who had H.G. Rothwell plat the community in 1870.
