History

A post office was established in the community, then known as Layman, on June 6, 1890. Six months later it was named for early local land owner Henry Harned, a native of Virginia who moved there shortly after the Civil War and donated the site for the depot and gave a right-of-way for the Louisville, Hardinsburg & Western Railroad.{{cite book | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=azPttlmsv24C&q=harned&pg=PR1 | title=Kentucky Place Names | publisher=University Press of Kentucky | year=1988 | accessdate=2022-05-17 | author=Rennick, Robert M. | pages=131| isbn=0813126312 }}
