The church itself was rebuilt in 1663 after a storm.^[5] In 1840, it was home to 279 people.^[6] In 1942, the forced labour camp Wyldemerk Harich was opened in the forests near Harich.^[7]

Before 2014, Harich was part of the Gaasterlân-Sleat municipality and before 1984 it belonged to Gaasterland.^[6]
