The first town meeting took place on the "Pratt farm" south of Sherwood, marking the beginning of Harrison's development.

The incorporation of Harrison into a village marked a significant shift, with some residents resenting the transition from a predominantly rural community to a more suburban one.

The Harrison Athletic Association (HAA) provides recreational opportunities and fosters community engagement through organized sports leagues and events.

The climate in Harrison is classified as humid continental, with four distinct seasons, making it ideal for outdoor activities year-round.

Agriculture remains a significant part of Harrison's economy, with dairy farming, crop production, and livestock raising being primary sources of income for many residents.

This portion of Harrison benefits from its large area of agricultural land and proximity to the greater Fox Valley.
