The story goes that one of the former neighbors of the bridge was incensed over the naming of the bridge after resident Harry Evans. He claimed that because Harry lived at the top of the hill, which was named after another Evans who lived in the valley. However, county records show that Harry Evans owned the land near the bridge. The land stayed in the Evans' name until the 1960s. The hills near the bridge are also riddled with numerous and dangerous old coal mines.

Harry Evans Bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 22, 1978.
