Harmony Hill Cemetery is the last remaining vestige from the Harmony Hill Community which was laid out in the 1840s on land donated by John W. Kuykendall, a prosperous plantation owner who had land in the Daniel Martin headright. Reportedly the community was originally nicknamed Nip 'n' Tuck, after an incident in which two foxhounds chased a fox down the main street. It is said that the harmonious community relations of the early settlers likely gave rise to the official name in 1856. The town, in an area of fertile red farmland, was a prosperous farming and commercial center situated near Trammell's Trace, the Grand Bluff Road, and the old Wire Road. A post office was established there in 1854 with William M. Johnston as postmaster; it closed in 1867. It reopened in 1868 and closed in 1905, when mail was sent to Tatum. The first church in the community, a one-room log structure, was built by the Primitive Baptists. Matt Chamness, the first merchant in the town, was followed by a druggist, a blacksmith, doctors, and a school. By 1860 Harmony Hill had eight to ten stores, a furniture factory, a Masonic lodge, and a racetrack. But during the 1870s and 1880s the town declined because it was bypassed by the railroads, which were built instead to Henderson and Tatum. In 1906 many of Harmony Hill's buildings were destroyed by a tornado.
