History
Originally chartered in 1853 as the Town of Lima, Harrison transitioned to become the Town of Harrison in 1858. Since its establishment, Harrison has grown into a thriving community, characterized by its rich history and natural beauty.
The first town meeting took place on the "Pratt farm" south of Sherwood, marking the beginning of Harrison's development. In 2013, the residents of the Town voted to incorporate Harrison into the Village of Harrison, a move certified by Secretary of State Douglas LaFollette on March 8, 2013. Following the incorporation, the Village of Harrison and the Town of Harrison entered into a boundary agreement, reunifying the community under one entity. The incorporation of Harrison into a village marked a significant shift, with some residents resenting the transition from a predominantly rural community to a more suburban one.
The Harrison Athletic Association (HAA) provides recreational opportunities and fosters community engagement through organized sports leagues and events.

An urban town is a proposed classification for towns in the state of Wisconsin, similar to the urban townships of Minnesota and Ohio. The concept, originally proposed in 2001, as AB501, limited the classification to towns with over 7,500 people. The proposal has gained support from such organizations as the Wisconsin Towns Association. The impetus that originally spawned the concept of urban towns was an effort to stem annexation of urbanized areas in unincorporated area by cities and villages across county lines. Obtaining "urban town" status effectively freezes the town's boundaries. While urban towns would have substantially greater zoning and regulatory rights than "rural towns", the status would not confer "incorporated" status on the municipality, freeing them from several responsibilities incumbent upon incorporated municipal governments, thus distinguishing them from the incorporated towns of Illinois.
