A place-name file at the State Historical Society of Missouri says Harrisburg was founded in July 1871. A building at 140 South Harris Street is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Harrisburg School and Ancient Landmark Masonic Lodge Number 356. It was added to the list in December 2013. The 1882 History of Boone County says members of the Sturgeon lodge helped start a lodge in Harrisburg. To find the building's street on the map, look for South Harris Street where it meets West Sexton Street.
The Harrisburg railroad that was never finished
The same 1882 book tells about a railroad that was planned through town. The company laid out a line from Mexico through Hallsville and Harrisburg to Fayette, in Howard County. It graded the ground and built bridges for the track. But the road was never finished, and the book said it perhaps never would be. Townships had sold bonds to help pay for it. The book says taxpayers didn't want to pay those bonds, since they never got a railroad.
