History
The Harper’s Choice Community Association (HCCA) is a non-profit civic organization whose purpose is to promote the health, safety, common good and social welfare of all citizens who reside in the village of Harper’s Choice regardless of whether they own or rent their homes.
There are three neighborhoods in the Village of Harper's Choice. They are: Longfellow, Swansfield and Hobbit's Glen. Longfellow, the first neighborhood in the village, was named for the American poet, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and all the street names are taken from his poems. J.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit Trilogy¬ is the inspiration for the neighborhood of Hobbit's Glen. Swansfield's name was inspired by the paintings of James MacNeil Whistler.
The entire village was part of Jericho, a farm once owned by the late Robert Harper Goodloe Carroll. The name was chosen because of his fondness for this particular site. Kahler Hall, the community center, was named for the Kahler family whose farm was located here.
