How Harveysburg Got Its Name
Harveysburg started as a Quaker village. The land was once part of Colonel Abraham Buford's Revolutionary War land grant. William Harvey, a Quaker from North Carolina, bought part of it. He laid out 47 lots, and the village did well from the start. Early on it had grist mills, a tin shop, a blacksmith shop, a bank and a big pork packing plant. Harvey ran his own dry goods store. The name came from a merchant in Cincinnati. He told William Harvey to add "burg" to his name and call the place Harveysburg. The first post office opened in 1839. The village was incorporated in 1844. The state historical marker tells this story at 23 North Street, so look for North Street on the map.
The School on North Street
North Street holds another piece of the village's past. The National Register of Historic Places lists the Elizabeth Harvey Free Negro School there. It was added to the list in 1977. The marker calls the spot the first free Black school of the Midwest Territory. In 1891, Henry Howe wrote that Harveysburg had two Friends meetings among its churches. He also wrote about "the fifty springs" of mineral water near the town.
