Dexter township may be named after Dexter, Michigan, the native home of a first settler, although folk etymology maintains the township is named after the mule of a local pioneer.
[6] He created the Milwaukee, Dexterville, and Northern Railroad in 1887 to carry timber from the area.
[9] A county worker died performing maintenance on the dam in 2009.
