History of Magnolia
Harrison County was created in 1851. It officially started on March 7, 1853. Three people named Abram Fletcher, Charles Wolcott, and A. D. Jones were chosen to set up the county. They also picked the spot for Magnolia and gave it its name.
Magnolia was once the "county seat." This means it was the main town where the county government was located. A building used as the county courthouse was built in 1873. This building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Sadly, it was taken down in 2019 because it was in very bad shape and there wasn't enough money to fix it.
In 1875, the county seat was moved from Magnolia to a different town called Logan.
