History

Elmira Township is named after Elmira, New York. [4] Elmira stands out for its natural beauty. Before 1834, it was primarily used by Native Americans for hunting, and only two families lived there. By 1835, settlers from the Peoria colony arrived, and within 45 years, the population reached 978, including those in Osceola and Elmira. The land is largely scenic, featuring spacious homes with manicured gardens. Fields are neatly bordered by hedges, and willow trees grow for shade. The township is bordered by Henry and Bureau counties to the west and north, with Osceola and Toulon to the east and south. [5]
