History

Harlan was established in 1853 by Lewis Reichelderfer and Julia Ann (Ranck) Reichelderfer, who were husband and wife.[3] It originally comprised two communities, the other of which is now Fort Wayne's Maysville neighborhood. The border between the two towns was Georgetown Road (Indiana State Road 37), with Harlan being on the north side of the road.[4]

The post office at Harlan has been in operation since 1851.[5] Maysville faded from existence soon afterwards.
