Image 4In the early 1700's, most of West Harrison, then known as Silver Lake, was owned by Daniel Merritt, who sold out to John Horton (of Horton's Grist Mill) in 1732.

Mr. Gainsborg developed early West Harrison into a resort area, and many old-timers remember that before World War II, West Harrison had a hotel, a casino and an internationally known ski jump.

Why? Presumably to leave a clean waterfront for the parkland that was sold by Harrison to the county in 1926. As for the hotel and casino, Charles Dawson was not sure if they moved or burned down.
