History

The six mile square that would become most of the Town of Tilden was first surveyed in the fall of 1848 by a crew working for the U.S. government. In September 1849, another crew marked all the section corners, walking through the woods and wading the swamps, measuring with chain and compass. [5] [6] When done, the deputy surveyor filed this general description:

     The Surface of this Township is high and rolling: and is mostly covered with Aspen thickets. The prairies(?) are in the ravines and the valleys of the Streams and have a sandy soil.


     The Pine in the North Eastern part of the Township along the Stream is small & knotty - not valuable for lumber(?).


     John Myers has a farm on the N.E. quarter of Section 22 containing about 7.00(?) Acres(?) and has rais a good crop of Oats Wheat Barley Potatoes and Buckwheat this Season.

The Town of Tilden was formed from part of the Town of Eagle Point in 1882, and named for Samuel J. Tilden, a popular candidate for U.S. President in 1876. [8]
