History
Harris had its start in the year 1889 by the building of the Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern Railway through Fairview Township. It was named for one of its founders, A. W. Harris. Homer E. Richards was postmaster of Harris from 1900 until 1910; after being elected county treasurer he relocated his family to Sibley on 1 January 1911. Harris has acted as a city since 1903, the year the Rock Island Line took over the railroad. But incorporation papers could not be found in county nor state archives, so by legislative act effective 1 July 1979 the incorporation of the City of Harris was legalized.
