Harbeson is just east of Georgetown, which is the main town and government center for Sussex County. Harbeson is about 36 feet (11 meters) above sea level. It has its own post office, and its ZIP code is 19951. Harbeson is also considered part of the larger Salisbury, Maryland-Delaware Metropolitan Statistical Area.
