A town founded on legend and mystique, Harrison has become a storied part of New York.

legend has it that in 1695, an Indian chief named Pathungo sold John Harrison as much land as he could cover in a day on horseback. Not wanting to get his horse's feet wet, he marked the boundaries for a future landlocked Harrison, which is the only community close to Long Island Sound without access to the water.

According to Charles Dawson, Harrison's first town historian, the true story began with the Siwanoy Indians who sold land to Peter Disbrow in 1662 and to John Budd in 1666, and again in 1695 to John Harrison. Unfortunately for Mr. Disbrow and Mr. Budd, neither had filed claims with the provincial government of New York. John Harrison, however, did file, and when his claim was disputed, it was upheld.

Today, Harrison is a bustling town close to Manhattan. People travel from all over the world and often find themselves smitten with the character and charm of Harrison. The city of Harrison is proud to have such a dynamic, diverse and driven population of dedicated workers and friendly faces.
