Perry Township was organized in 1816, then comprising two, 36-square-mile survey townships. At first called Leipsic (after the German city), the township was soon renamed Perry to honor Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry, who led a United States Navy squadron to victory against a British Royal Navy squadron in the 1813 Battle of Lake Erie. Perry Township was divided in 1825; the western half becoming Congress Township. Perry Township was again divided in 1848, when Morrow County, Ohio, was created. The western half was transferred to the new county, the eastern half remained in Richland County, and both halves retained the name Perry Township. [4] [5]
