A Look Back: Harlansburg's History
Harlansburg has a simple but interesting past. Long ago, it was sometimes called Harlansburgh. In the past, this community was a bit busier. It used to have a sawmill, which is a place where logs are cut into lumber. Imagine the sounds of wood being cut there!
Harlansburg also had its very own post office. This was a big deal because it meant people could send and receive letters right there. The post office was open for many years, from 1879 until 1903. After 1903, residents likely used post offices in nearby towns.
