Benjamin Harrison (August 20, 1833 – March 13, 1901) was the 23rd president of the United States, serving from 1889 to 1893.

A Union Army veteran and a Republican, he defeated incumbent Grover Cleveland to win the presidency in 1888. Harrison was born on a farm by the Ohio River and graduated from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. After moving to Indianapolis, he established himself as a prominent local attorney, Presbyterian church leader, and politician in Indiana.

Harrison unsuccessfully ran for governor of Indiana in 1876.
