Gov. Powell Clayton created this county in
1869 with land from Carroll and Madison counties in the northwestern
corner of the state. It is named after noted Kentuckian explorer, Daniel
Boone. Harrison is the county seat. Zinc, lead, manganese and stone were
mined within the area and helped to create mining comminutes. The Missouri
and North Arkansas Railroad went through Boone County and establish
Harrison as one of its major trade centers in the late 1800s.
