Name and history[編輯]
It is one of five Sugar Creek Townships statewide.[4]
Like the founders of Kidron, the early settlers of Sugar Creek came from the canton of Bern in Switzerland. The settlers of Sugar Creek, however, arrived probably a decade or two later than their Kidron neighbors in the 1830s and 1840s, and were part of the Reformed Church not Mennonite. Sugar Creek had its post office established in 1888, when it received its official name. Sugar Creek was originally named for a local stream running nearby, and the small settlement of Shanesville later merged with Sugar Creek.[5]
政府[編輯]
鎮區有3人組成的理事會管理。理事會理事選舉在奇數年11月舉行，並在來年1月1日開始四年任期。兩名理事的選舉在總統選舉後一年舉行，另一名的選舉在總統選舉前一年舉行。鎮區財務官亦由選舉產生[6]，與一名鎮區理事選舉同時舉行，不過在來年4月1日才開始四年任期。若財務官或理事職位有空缺，將由剩餘理事填補。
