It contains an area of about 48 square miles, and is the largest township in the . county. The surface is generally level or slightly rolling, her soil is rich and productive, and is watered by Mud Creek and White Lick. Mud Creek flows through the west and southwest, while White Lick crosses the northeast corner. This was one of the first settled townships in the county, a brief history of which is given in the historical sketch of the county. The present population of the township is about 25,000. Her church and school privileges are rather better than an average of the county, and her gravel roads and public improvements speak well for the enterprise of her citizens. She is well sup- plied with towns and post offices, namely: First, Bellville, the voting precinct of the township, situated on the National road, 18 miles west of Indianapolis, and about six miles south, and and 1} east from Danville, containing a population of 264.
