Harmony Ridge was founded in the 1870s. Among its first settlers were the families of Andrew, Mark, and Polk Oliver, Stephen M. Lewis, William Faver, Matt Senterfitt, and Asa J. Howard. Its only building, a two-story frame structure that housed Cumberland Presbyterian Church and the local school, was built by citizens in 1877. Andrew and Mark Oliver gave the land for the building and cemetery. The community took its name because people worked in Harmony on construction. The second story was removed in 1911, and brick veneer was added in 1960. Although the community is inactive, the cemetery group meets yearly. The original building burned in 2005, and the present structure was built in 2007 on the footprint of the original building.
