Harrison County
Organized in 1808
Named for William Henry Harrison
Nestled in Harrison's County wooded hills and pastures, Corydon holds significant importance in Indiana's history. The city served as capital of the Indiana Territory and then as the first Indiana state capital. In 1863, John Hunt Morgan's Confederate cavalry fought the citizens of Corydon in the only Civil War battle waged west of the Alleghenies and north of the Mason-Dixon Line. |
