Name and history[編輯]
Statewide, the only other Allen Townships are located in Hancock, Ottawa, and Union Counties.[4]
The first settlers within the bounds of today's Allen Township were the families of Ephraim and Aaron Ireland. The township was organized in March 1839 as a split from Brown Township.[5] It was greatly reduced when the Mercer County line was extended to the south; approximately half of the township was split off to form that county's Granville Township. The first school in the township was built in 1840, and the first church was an Evangelical congregation.[6]:564 The first railroad in the township was a predecessor of the Cincinnati, Jackson and Mackinaw Railroad, which built a line through Rossburg and New Weston in 1883.[6]:565
