History
Harperville was named for G. W. Harper, a European-American settler. In 1900, Harperville had a population of 130 and was home to a flour mill and sawmill. Harperville was once home to Harperville College and an agricultural school. In October 1898, a white mob retaliated for African Americans resisting arrest. The county sheriff gathered a posse, and the governor asked for National Guard support. Governor Anselm J. McLaurin went by train to Forest to assess the situation. After arresting several blacks, the sheriff took them to the county seat at Forest for their safety. The New Orleans Picayune reported that 11 blacks and one white had been killed."
