TOWNSHIPS:
At the present time the historical sketches of the various townships and villages of Newaygo County, and especially the former, afford but little of variety of incident or history to record. Much of the more interesting historical matter occurring in the county, and therefore in some townships, has been mentioned in the general history. We give the following brief sketches of townships in alphabetical order, beginning with Ashland township and ending with Wilcox, with the history of the various villages included in the sketches of the townships in which they are:
Ashland - Barton -
Beaver - Big Prairie -
Bridgeton - Brooks (Newaygo Village) - Croton - Dayton - Denver (Hesperia) - Ensley - Everett - Garfield - Goodwell - Grant -
Lincoln - Monroe - Norwich - Sheridan (Fremont) - Sherman - Troy - Wilcox
