A town hall, 20x30, was built on the southwest quarter of Section 20, in 1872, at a cost of $500. In March, 1879, at a cost of $100, it was moved to its present location on the southwest quarter of Section 15, as near the center of the township as possible.
In the earlier days the township was largely infested with wolves, so much so that for many years a bounty ranging from two to five dollars was paid for the scalp of each wolf killed in the town- ship. The name of the town undoubtedly preserves the name of the traditional founder of Rome. One of the streams running through the township. marked on some old maps as Hale's Creek was probably called Hall's Creek, after Ira S. Hall, who bought land in the township in November, 1836.
The population of the township in 1850 was 621 ; in 1860, 1, 106; 1870, 1,462; and in 1880, 1,741.
The valuation in 1840 was $108,412; in 1850, $35,131 ; in 1860. $146,747 ; in 1870, $170,831 ; and in 1880, $560,410.
In 1888 there were seven school districts, and during the year four male and eleven female teach- ers were employed. Six hundred and forty-one
children were enrolled, of whom four hundred attended school during the year. The township then contained nine school buildings, with sittings for 470 pupils, and the property was worth $3,300.
MOUNT PLEASANT.
A village with the above name, located on Sec- tion 31. on the river, was platted and recorded in 1834 It was on quite an elevation, and this fact gave rise to its name It was projected during the "paper city" period, and at one time contained several buildings, including a hotel. saw-mill and store. A Baptist church was organized here in 1836, but it did not thrive. The locality soon became a great resort for counterfeiters, and thou- sands of dollars of spurious coin are said to have been manufactured here. In 1839 the leaders of the gang were arrested and convicted, and the rest, betaking themselves to safer quarters. left the vil- lage to moulder and decay, and to-day nothing remains of the once prosperous village except a few worm-eaten timbers and the moss-covered clap- boards of an old hotel.
ROMULUS, FORMERLY PULLEN'S CORNERS.
This village, located on the line of the Flint & Pere Marquette Railroad, was originally named after David J. Pullen. The village plat was recorded in 1836. In 1854 the Romulus Union Church Society was organized for the purpose of constructing a church building which should be open to all denomi- nations free of charge, and for all funerals. A lot was purchased on the northwest quarter of Section 20, and a church built and dedicated in June, 1856. It will seat 200, and cost $1,400. Nearly every denomination has held service in the building, but it has been principally used by the Methodists.
SPRINGWELLS TOWNSHIP.
A township with the above name, located on the river, was created on January 5, 1818, but different and lessened boundaries were defined by Law of April 12, 1827. The first township meeting was held at the house of Alexander P. Campau, on Monday, May 28, 1827. The township was les- sened in size by Law of March 31, 1833, which created the town of Greenfield. By Law of April 2, 1850, more territory was added to Greenfield, but by Law of March 25, 1873, a small portion of Greenfield was added to Springwells. The town- ship was, however, again curtailed by Acts of 1849, 1857, 1875, and 1885, which added portions of the township to Detroit. Under Law of 1889, the
township Board divided the township into two elec- tion districts. The portion south of the Dix Road being the first district, and the portion north, the second district.
