JASPER TOWNSHIP
This township was created in 1853 out of portions of
Cedarville, Ross, Silver Creek, Caesar's Creek and Xenia
Townships. NEW JASPER, the only
town, is about 70 years old and has a population of
something less than 100. It contains a township house,
a Methodist Episcopal church (both of brick and built in
1882), two stores, and a blacksmith shop. There is
also a hall
where the Junior Order and the Daughters of America hold
their meetings. On the eastern edge of the township is
the Caesar's Creek Baptist church. There are also in
the township a tile factory, a sawmill, and two extensive
limestone quarries which yield excellent building stone.
