The town started when Charles P. Lovelace as postmaster established a post office in the location which would become the town in 1909. A month later, the post office changed its name from Harriet to Harriett and continued to serve the area until it was moved to San Angelo in 1927. The community reported a population of 12 and two businesses in 1936, and county maps of the 1950s showed a church and several buildings there. Harriett was shown on the 1984 county highway map with a railroad station and, two miles northeast, a cemetery.[1]
