It is the only Gasper Township statewide.[4] It was named after John Gasper Potterf (or Batdorf) (1758-1836),[5] A Pennsylvanian of German descent who became an early and wealthy settler of Preble County. Gasper Township was originally part of Washington Township until Potterf convinced the Board of Commissioners to dissever the twenty-four sections of the southern part of Washington Township.
