Harness is a small, quiet community in Logan County, Illinois, in the United States. It's not a big city with its own government. Instead, it's an "unincorporated community." This means it's a group of homes and perhaps a few businesses that are part of a larger county or township. Harness is located west of Hartsburg and south of San Jose.
History of Harness
Harness was officially started in the year 1900. It was named after a person named Daniel R. Harness. He was the one who helped plan and lay out the community. So, the name "Harness" comes from him!
