Harrison Township is one of nine townships in Spencer County, Indiana. As of the 2010 census, its population was 2,000 and it contained 770 housing units.[3] Because of the presence of the St. Meinrad Archabbey, the Roman Catholic parishes in this township are under the jurisdiction of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis and not the Diocese of Evansville with the rest of Spencer County.
