Harshaville was built up around the early Harsha Mill, a gristmill powered by the Cherry Fork Creek.[2] The community was named for the local Harsha family.[3] A post office was established at Harshaville in 1865, and remained in operation until 1909.[4]

It is the location of Harshaville Covered Bridge, a historic bridge that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
