Name and history[编辑]
The Township of Huron was established by 1809; it has kept this name since that time. It was also briefly combined with (now) Milan Township for judicial districting purposes. It also was combined with the former "Avery Township" around 1821.
Huron Village, at the mouth of the Huron River, was established about 1824, when the harbor was created, and the village quickly sprang up around it.[4]
The Township was the former location of several French-Canadian fur-traders migrating south from New France and French Louisiana during the years of the French and Indian War, (1755-1763), [part of the larger multi-continental "Seven Years' War" in Europe, (1756-1763) when the Kingdom of France ceded its North American possessions in Canada to the British, and Louisiana to the Kingdom of Spain in 1763. Many Native American tribes frequented this area, and hunted and fished along with the French. Gabriel Hunot traded here in the 1780s, and fur trader John B. Flammond ("Flemming") came here to trade about 1805 and remained as a permanent settler. "Flemmings Cove" was named for him.
It is the only Huron Township statewide.[5]
