A mill was first built at Harries around 1820; the place was later called Smithville, after George W. Smith bought the property.[1]
Other early variant names were Harries Station, Harriesville, Harshman, Harshmansville, and Harshmanville.[2] A post office called Harshmanville was established in 1850, the name was changed to Harshman in 1885, and the post office closed in 1914.[3] Harries and Harshman were the names of the proprietors of local mills and other enterprises.[4]
The community was located in Mad River Township,[1] which incorporated as the city of Riverside in 1995.[5]
