Nestled within the 64701 zip code, Harrisonville, Missouri, tells a story of history, courage, and unity. Founded in 1837 on land donated by Congress for county purposes, Harrisonville is a place where determination has always thrived. The town bears the name of Congressman Albert G. Harrison, whose instrumental role in obtaining the land grant is remembered to this day. 

Harrisonville has seen its share of challenges. A May 2017 report from the Missouri State Auditor revealed areas that needed improvement, citing “complex, often overlapping tax districts, contracts awarded without appropriate bidding processes and overuse of money pulled from restricted funds.” 

Harrisonville’s modern-day challenges include access to fresh and nutritious food. Residents average household income is roughly $52,000, and the population is predominantly white (95%).
