The Township of Spencer lies
in the Central-Western part of Lucas County, and is bounded on the
North by Richfield Township, and on the East by Springfield;
on the South by Monclova, and on the West by Swanton. It is
composed of Sections one to twelve inclusive of Town Ten South, of
Range Five East, and Sections 31 to 36 inclusive of Township Nine
South, of Range Five East, of the Michigan Survey, together with
Sections 31 to 36 inclusive, of Town Eight North, of Range Nine
East, of the Ohio survey; all except the latter, being in territory
formerly claimed by Michigan.
The Township was set off from Richfield and Swanton by
act of the County Commissioners in 1845.
The soil of the Township is arable and productive, with
the exception of the portion known as the "Barrens," and a small
area of marshy prairie. Both of these exceptions, however, are
raidly disappearing under the improved methods of the lands
of this section generally among the most fertile in the State.EARLY SETTLEMENT
