Harpersville is one of Shelby County's oldest communities, older than the county and the state. Originally called Big Springs, it was settled around 1815, just after the War of 1812, by the Harper and Kidd families, drawn by good farmland and plentiful creeks and springs. Settlers from the Carolinas, Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia followed and opened a store, a blacksmith shop and a steam-powered cotton gin, and the town became a regular stagecoach stop.
The area's one-room schools led to Elmhill Academy, which drew boarding students from other towns and states, and Harpersville became known for its schools and cultural life. Its native son Henry B. Walthall became a stage and silent film actor and a Hollywood pioneer, and the town later produced NBA players George McGinnis and Warren Kidd. Harpersville was formally incorporated in 1943 or 1945; the town's marker gives 1945 and the census gives 1943. Afterward the town bought the old Harpersville School for its town hall. The Chancellor House and the Old Rock House are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In 2012 a circuit judge took over the town's municipal court, calling its private probation system a debtors' prison.
