The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗Harrison was incorporated in 1899 and was once the largest city on Lake Coeur d'Alene. The community was named after President Benjamin Harrison.
Harrison developed from a squatters homestead to a thriving village in about twelve years. A branch of the O.R. & N. Railroad from Tekoa, Washington, to Harrison was completed in 1890 and was a prime factor in the development of Harrison.
