Harrisville NH Community Profile & History
Harrisville, New Hampshire first settled in 1760, was once part of Hancock, Dublin, Roxbury, Nelson, and Marlborough. It became a mill center when the Harris family built of one of the first woolen mills in New England. The town was known as Twitchellville, after Abel Twitchell, whose daughter had married into the Harris family. When the business name was changed to Cheshire Mills, the town incorporated as Harrisville.
The growth of the Harris family's industry and the coming of the railroad influenced the creation of this town. It was named in honor of Milan Harris, whose several stone and brick mills made use of the abundant water power of three nearby lakes until 1970.
Harrisville, a prototype of a rural New England factory village, is now a historic district. A number of its buildings are protected by Historic Harrisville Inc., and the picturesque village is a great favorite with artists.
