The Crown did not make land available for sale in the region until 1854. The town was named after Archibald Harrison, a Toronto farmer who was granted land along the Maitland River in 1854. Harrison's brothers George and Joshua built several mills in the area and the community soon grew. Wickipedia Four of Christopher Harrison?s brothers - including my great-great-grandfather Joshua pioneered north and west in the 1850?s and founded the town of Harriston Ontario (which was named for the family). I grew up near there. Another old Harriston resident was Gerry FitzGerald - founder of the Connaught Laboratories. He grew up in Harriston where his father was the town pharmacist. Paul Litt
