Discover Harlan
Harlan was first settled by Samuel and Chloe Howard in 1796, and after Harlan County was founded in 1819 the Howards donated land for the county seat. Confederate raiders occupied the town during the Civil War, and the courthouse was burned in October 1863. The Louisville and Nashville Railroad arrived in 1911 and spurred major growth, and the city adopted the name Harlan in 1912.
