Harrison County was formed from parts of Jefferson and Tuscarawas Counties in 1813. The county was named after General William Henry Harrison, the hero of the battle of Tippecanoe in the [[War of 1812]] (and later to become the ninth U.S. president).

Oil was discovered near [[Jewett, Ohio]] in 1895, and then in the [[Scio, Ohio]] area in 1898. However, by 1901, the Scio [[oil boom]] had essentially ceased.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Spencer |first=Jeff |title=Ohio Oil and Gas (Images of America) |last2=Camp |first2=Mark |date=2008 |publisher=Arcadia Publishing |isbn=9780738551715 |location=Charleston |pages=61–66}}</ref>
