New Harrisburg is an unincorporated community in Harrison Township, Carroll County, Ohio, United States. The community is part of the Canton - Massillon Metropolitan Statistical Area. The community is served by the Carrollton post office, and has ZIP code 44615.[1] It lies on State route 171.
The village was platted by Jacob Harsh on December 26, 1828, along the Steubenville - Canton stage coach line established by Bezaleel Wells. It succeeded as a town until it was bypassed by the Connotton Valley Railroad. When Carroll County was considering a new courthouse in the early 1880s, a local merchant offered ten acres to relocate the county seat, but was unsuccessful.[2] [3] A writer in 1920 noted there was "nothing to note a commercial interest at this point – it only remains a memory of the older citizens of the county."[2]
Students attend the Carrollton Exempted Village School District.[4]
