Harponville is acommune in theSommedepartment inHauts-de-France in northernFrance.
Harponville is situated on the D47 road, some 20 miles (32 km) northeast ofAmiens.
The village of Harponville is first noted as belonging to the abbey atSaint-Riquier. Later it becomes a stronglyProtestant place, owing to the Raincheval family's influence. Burials took place in the gardens of their home.
At the beginning of the 19th century, the cordiality between the two denominations was such that they decided to build a wall in the old parish church, Catholic on one side, Protestant on the other.This wall was later demolished and a church for the Protestants was built in 1823 and rebuilt in 1863 after a fire.
The village was unaffected byWorld War I. A defensive system of trenches and a blockhouse were set up in the ‘’Bois de l’Abbaye’’ near ‘’Mont d’Harponville’’ which kept the village safe.
