| Harrison County Highway Department |
Welcome to the home page for the Harrison County Highway Department and
Engineer's Office, located in historic Corydon, Indiana. Harrison County is
located in Scenic Southern Indiana along the Ohio River just west of Louisville,
Kentucky.
The first road was built in the county in 1809 connecting Corydon with
Mauckport on the bank of the Ohio River. A towboat and ferry line was operated
there bringing pioneers across from Brandenburg, Kentucky. The road and ferry
greatly expanded the county's economic viability and ease of access from the
Ohio River, which lead to a rapid settlement of the area.
Among the first settlers in what is now Harrison County, were Daniel Boone and
his brothers; most notably Squire Boone. Squire Boone settled permanently in
what is now Boone Township in 1806. He is interred in a cave near his former
home, at Squire Boone Caverns.
The Highway Department strives to provide the citizens and visitors of Harrison
County the best transportation system possible. We hope that you find our
website useful and informative. Please feel free to contact us with questions
or suggestions.
