History

The Temperance heritage was slow to depart. There was no liquor store in Harriman until 1992. The city, still quaint but clearly different now from its economic heyday, shows considerable evidence of being a "planned community". The city thrived and grew from its founding into the 1920s until the combination of the Wall Street Crash of 1929 market crash and a devastating flood of the Emory River, both in 1929, wiped out much of the city's industry. Even now local churches and congregations have a significant say in what locations will and will not serve alcohol.
