History

The town is a suburb of the nearby city of Newark, New Jersey|Newark.

The area that is now Harrison was a part of a charter granted to Captain William Sandford of Barbados. The first committee meeting of the Township of Harrison was held on April 16, 1840, and it is widely accepted that Harrison was named for President of the United States William Henry Harrison, who was elected that year. Since Lodi was part of Bergen County, matters dealing with the county government and courts had to be taken to Hackensack, New Jersey In 1840, the inhabitants of the Township of Lodi joined with present day Secaucus, New Jersey Bayonne, New Jersey Jersey City, New Jersey City, Hoboken, New Jersey Weehawken, New Jersey and Union City, New Jersey City and petitioned for the creation of a new county due to the great distance which the petitioners had to travel to reach the count seat in Hackensack. As of the United States 2000 Census, the town population was 14,424. The Township of Harrison was thereby established.
