Auburn Township is one of fifteen townships in the center of Clark County, Illinois, USA. As of the 2020 census, its population was 230 and it contained 114 housing units. [1]
Auburn Township was created in 1859 and consisted of land taken from Anderson, Dolson, Marshall and Martinsville Townships in Clark County. According to the History of Crawford and Clark Counties, Illinois, the creation was the result of gerrymandering to facilitate the election of an unidentified influential person to be a justice of the peace. [2] : 458 The township was named for the already existing village of Auburn.
The village of Auburn had vied with the town of Marshall as the seat of Clark County. Auburn had the advantage of being centrally located. However, Marshall had the larger population and received more votes. Auburn's defeat has been blamed for ruining the village's dreams of growth. [2] : 462
