Sylvania Township, No. 9, of
the original survey, lies in the Northern tier of Townships of Lucas
County. It is bounded on the North by State of Michigan, East
by Washington Township, West by Richfield, and South by the
Townships of Adams, Springfield and Spencer.
The surface of the Township is chiefly rolling upland,
broken only by the Ottawa River (Ten-Mile Creek) and its
tributaries, which pass through the Township in a circuitous course
from West to East.
Sylvania was originally noted for its fine woods; hence
the name. The timber is mostly gone, and well-cultivated farms
have taken the place of ancient forests with which the early
settlers battled sturdily for the thrift and independence enjoyed by
the present generation.EARLY SETTLEMENT.
