History
[edit]The village was founded in the early 19th century. It was named after Archibald Morrison, a major landholder in the early 1800s. By the 1850s, it had a store and a post office, neither of which the town has in present day. The village gained attention as being the birthplace of the Pulitzer Prize winning author Russell Baker, as he discusses his childhood experience in Morrisonville in his award winning autobiography Growing Up.[1]
