Harrison County Townships and Communities
The Development of Harrison County's 11 Townships

See also: Townships of Yesteryear

At the time of its formation, Harrison county was divided into 3 townships: Exeter (in the south), Harrison (in the central portion) and Washington township (in the north).

By 1811, Harrison county had 6 townships: Exeter in the south; The center portion containing the 2 townships of Harrison (west) and Franklin (east); and the northern area was divided into the 3 townships of Washington, Madison and Driftwood townships. At that time (1811), Harrison county encompassed a large area which included the present day counties of HARRISON and WASHINGTON, in addition to the eastern half of CRAWFORD and ORANGE counties, a southeastern portion of JACKSON county, the western half of FLOYD county, and smaller portions of CLARK, LAWRENCE, PERRY and SCOTT counties.

In 1814, Washington county was formed, from the northern portion, effectively reducing Harrison county to about half of its original size, with the 3 northern townships of Washington, Madison and Driftwood becoming part of the newly formed WASHINGTON county.

By 1817, Harrison county had once again divided into 6 townships: Exeter, Franklin, Harrison, Ohio, Posey and Whiskey Run, however the following year (1818) the townships of Ohio and Whiskey Run became part of the newly formed CRAWFORD county, and southern Exeter township was divided into 2 new townships: Boone and Heth, while the townships of Morgan and Blue River were formed in the north.

In 1838, a new Washington township was formed in the southwestern part of Harrison county, and given the same name as the earlier, no longer existing, township. By 1848, Taylor township had been formed, in the southeastern corner of Harrison county, from Boone township. Five years later, the townships of Jackson, Spencer, Webster and Scott were also formed. The last named, Scott township, was dissolved in 1939, when a large portion of the township became part of an Indiana state forest. (See Harrison-Crawford Wyandotte Complex)

Blue River Township communities include: Depauw and Hancock Chapel. Depauw is situated at the Blue River and Spencer townships line.
