Welcome to Harrisburg ...So far, we found very little information about Harrisburg. The little that we've found leads us believe that the community is historic.<1> We've added Harrisburg to our Gazetteer with the hope that we can develop more information. We would especially like to find the location of Harrisburg - knowing its coordinates, we can explore things like its relationship to neighboring communities, nearby cemeteries, etc. If you can help us with Harrisburg, please Contact Us. While we don't have the exact location of Harrisburg , we believe that it would have been located within present day La Paz County<2>. While we don't have a date for the founding of Harrisburg, you might consider that their post office opened in 1887.
