In 1791, George Washington’s coach carriage rolled through the quiet hamlet of Query’s Quarter, a stop so unassuming it merited only a passing note in his diary.

Today, its close-knit spirit and steadfast charm might just make the Father of His Country proud. A suburb of Charlotte with small-town warmth and an All-American heart, Harrisburg offers the perfect backdrop for community traditions and personal milestones.
