HISTORY OF THE TOWNSHIPS.
This Township is situate in the extreme north-west corner of the county, occupying Town 22, Range 7 east. It is bounded on the east by East Bend, on the north by Ford county, on the west by McLean county, and on the south by Newcomb township. It is a high, beautiful tract of land, well adapted to mixed husbandry, as well as being a most excellent stockraising locality. The Sangamon, which rises just north in the county above, passes through this territory, and it is further watered by a tributary of the same, which traverses the town its entire length from west to east. The prairies are gently undulating, possessing all those rare qualities of soil for which the county generally is so remarkable, yielding rich reward to the farmer for his care and labor.
Unfortunately for the rapid development of the resources of this part of the county, its location in relation to railroads, or other carrying routes, has not, hitherto, been the most advantageous, the nearest point being some ten miles from markets. This drawback will soon be removed by the construction of a railroad, now under contract, from Springfield, Ill., to Gilman, on the Illinois Central R. R. in Iroquois Co., which passes just outside the west line of the township, and which, when completed, will render every facility for the transportation of farm products, desired.
