Center Township is rightly named, occupying a central position in the county. It contains abont forty-six square miles in con- gressional townships 15 and 16 north, ranges 1 east and 1 west. It is bounded on the north by Union and Middle townships, on the east by Middle and Washington, on the south by Liberty and Clay, and on the west by Clay, Marion and Eel River. It is drained by the west fork of White Lick, some of its tributaries and Mill Creek. In its course across Center Township, the west fork has eroded a deep, narrow valley, which makes some rather abrupt bluffs along this stream, but otherwise the surface of the township is beautifully undulating throughout most of its extent, the north part being level. The natural drainage of Center is the best in the county, except Guilford, and in it is the highest elevation of land in the county. Its soil is better adapted to the cultivation of grass and small grain than to that of corn. Almost every square foot of land in this township is utilized for cultiva- tion or for pasture, and in the northwest part of it are some of the finest woodland pastures in the world.
The earliest settlement in this township was in 1823, but there were not over half a dozen families in the township until after the location of the county seat and the establishment of the town of Danville.

FIRST ELECTION.
The oldest document in existence pertaining to Center Town- ship is believed to be the poll-book and tally sheet of the general election held Aug. 7, 1826, when the people voted for congressman, senator, representative, sheriff and coroner. Altogether, sixty- six persons voted in Center Township at this election, indicating a population at that time of perhaps 200. We give below the names of the voters, as entered on the poll-book. Many names are spelled incorrectly, but we leave it to the reader to correct them mentally. The list is doubly valuable, as it includes all the first pioneers of the township:

During the late war the people of Danville and vicinity were very strong in their Union sentiments, and so wrought up were they in 1864 that methods were pursued in the political campaign that would tind few defenders now, and which were palliated, not excused, by the peculiar conditions of the times. Returned sol- diers and other Unionists held the polls, and by one means and another kept the Democratic vote down to three, while 457 votes were given for the Union ticket. This and other incidents caused many of the Democratic citizens of the county to conceive a dislike for Danville which has lasted to this day, and which has had a per- manently injurious effect upon the business of what ought to be a more thriving town. The ill-feeling was such during the later years of the war that some Democrats threatened to come and burn the court-house, and for a time this structure was carefully guarded and the streets regularly patrolled by the patriotic Danvilleites.
STATISTICAL.
The population of Center Township was in 1880 by the United States census 3,255, about half of this number being in Danville. The following statistics as to property and taxation, exclusive of Danville, are for the year 1885: Acres assessed, 28,593.05; value of same, $304,996; value of improvements, $128,039; value of lots, $1,248; value of improvements, $785; value of personal property, $285,903; total taxables, $1,220,971; polls, 291; dogs, 224; State tax, $1,610.67; county tax, $3,526.58; township tax, $244.19; tnition tax, $2,026.31; special school tax, $2,011.76; road tax, $3,052.43; endowment tax, $61.05; bridge tax, $1,220.94; total taxation, $16,321.18; delinquent taxes, $350.14.
DANVILLE.

eral families at once settled here, to grow up with the capital of the new county, and by the following winter the population was suffi- cient to support a school, the first session of which was taught by Wesley Mckinley. The first physician was Dr. Garrett. Levi Jessup, the first County Clerk, kept the pioneer hotel, and was suc- ceeded in that business in 1828 by Colonel Thomas Nichols, who came to Danville in that year and assumed the duties of Sheriff,

while he kept hotel and built houses as well. In 1829 he built the first brick school-house in the county, at Danville. The venerable Colonel is still living in the town, and though more than fourscore years of age, is active and in possession of all his faculties unim- paired. He is now Justice of the Peace, and one of the most gen- erally respected and popular citizens of the county. The first church of the township was a Regular Baptist, and was organized in Danville about the year 1828.

HISTORY OF HENDRICKS COUNTY.
Danville is the largest town in the county, and is situated a half mile from the depot of the Indianapolis, & St. Louis Railroad, on an elevated position on the west bank of the west fork of White Lick, and is surrounded on all sides by a beautiful country, pleas- antly diversified by hills and valleys, and farms and woodlands, covered with a rich carpet of blue grass. In addition to the county public buildings described elsewhere, Danville contains a commo- dious and elegant public school building, erected in 1873, at a cost of $25,000, the Central Normal College and Business Institute, and fine churches, some of which are very creditable structures. The business portions of the town are generally well built, and consist of substantial two and three story brick blocks. No town of its size in Indiana has a greater number of neat, cosy and com- fortable residences, some of which are deserving of being called elegant. The citizens justly pride themselves on the educational and religious privileges of the place, and the high standard of morality which society here maintains.
There is not a saloon in the town, and indeed there has not been one in the county for a third of a century. Attempts have been made at various times to obtain licenses and sell liquor here, but in every case the parties have been prevented, in one way or another.
INCORPORATION.
Danville was incorporated early in its history, as is seen from the following record:
"We, the undersigned, President and Clerk of an election held at the court-house in the town of Danville, on the 24th day of Janu- ary, A. D. 1835, agreeably to an order of the Board of County Commissioners, within and for the county of Hendricks, at their January term, 1835, for the purpose of electing five Trustees to serve the corporation of said town of Danville, do certify that at the election aforesaid, we, the undersigned, President and Clerk 88 aforesaid, after being duly sworn according to law, did proceed to lay off the said town into five districts, as follows, to wit: District No. One is composed of Blocks Nos. 1, 2, 3, 14, 15 and 16; District No. Two, of Blocks Nos. 17, 18, 19, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33 and 34; Dis- trict No. Three, of Blocks Nos. 4,13,28 and 35; District No. Four, of Blocks Nos. 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12; District No. Five, of Blocks Nos. 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 36, 37, 38 and 39; and after the division of said town into districts, and the same being made known to the qualified voters thereof, who then proceeded to elect
