There isn't much else in Harris, as it is a tiny community. Never a large community, Harris was founded as a lumber town, like many other Michigan communities. A post office was established on July 8, 1880, and named DeLoughory, for George W. DeLoughory, a local farmer who served as the community's first postmaster. He resigned, and the office was closed on May 4, 1883. The post office was restored on July 13, 1883, with Michael B. Harris as postmaster. Mr. Harris, a lumberman, had settled in the region in 1875, and was later elected as a member of the legislature from this district.
The Chicago & North Western Railroad opened a station there, and the post office was renamed Harris, for Michael B. Harris, on September 6, 1900.
The focal point of this category is on the small community of Harris, Michigan. Appropriate topics will consist largely of businesses affiliated with the casino, although websites associated with any businesses or organizations within the community could be listed here.
