As of the 2010 census, its population was 1,458 and it contained 628 housing units.

The first settlers in the township were Samuel Partlow and his wife and four sons, who arrived from Kentucky in 1829.

A harsh winter caused the loss of all their cattle, and there was little game available for food; Samuel died that year and the family returned to Kentucky.

The township contains seven cemeteries: Ingersoll, Old Partlow, Old Sowdowsky, Outton Family, Partlow, Potomac and Wallace Chapel.
