History

Middlefork Township was one of the eight townships created in 1851 and included all the land that later became Butler and Ford townships.

The first settlers in the township were Samuel Partlow and his wife and four sons, who arrived from Kentucky in 1829. A harsh winter caused the loss of all their cattle, and there was little game available for food; Samuel died that year and the family returned to Kentucky. However, the next year, they came back again.[2]
