Collegeville

History
Collegeville township erected 8 January 1880 the last one to be erected in the county. Its area T124R30 was taken from Farming, St. Joseph and Wakefield. [I question whether it was ever a part of Wakefield.] At the time of the 1860 and 1870 census this area was part of Munson (the west half) and St. Joseph (the east half). Early settlers were in 1858 George Scherer, Joseph Jonas and in 1866 Peter Eich all in section 26, John Obermiller on section 2 in 1858.
