Minerva Township, Marshall County, Iowa

[1] Minerva Township was first settled in 1851 and formally established in 1866, and in its early days, a protestant church was noted to be located in the town.

Marshall County Highway S62, locally known as Hopkins Avenue, acts as the main road through most of central Minerva Township.

The town is located directly to the south of Bangor and to the east of Clemons, equidistantly 4.5 miles away from both.

It's also about 40 miles away from Des Moines, which is the location of the closest airport with regularly-scheduled commercial service.

In the 2020 United States presidential election, at least 65% of residents votes for GOP incumbent Donald Trump over Democratic nominee Joe Biden, though the township supported Biden generally more than they did 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
