Van Buren Township |
Details |
Van Buren Township is one of ten townships in Daviess County, Indiana. As of the 2020 census, its population was 2,813 and contained 727 housing units. Van Buren Township was organized in September 1841 and was the last township to be formed in Daviess County. It was created in response to a petition circulated among residents of parts of Barr and Madison Townships asking to be set off as a separate township. In the first years of settlement of Daviess County (organized in 1817 by the Indiana Legislature), the area in northern Daviess County that became Van Buren Township attracted few pioneers. Most individuals in the area were trappers or hunters. Permanent settlement only began in the late 1820s. Raglesville, Indiana is the one unicorporated town in Van Buren Township. As of the 2010 census, Raglesville had 141 residents. The township has five cemeteries: Evans Memorial Park, Franklin, Kilgore, Liberty and Stoll. |
