Rooks County was established with four townships: Bow Creek, Lowell, Paradise and Stockton. That number increased to seven by 1878 [2] and twenty three in 1925. The twenty three townships were in place until 1971 when the number was reduced to the current twelve townships. [3]

Township 10 was formed from Rooks County townships Logan and Walton [4] in 1971 pursuant to Kansas Statute 80-1110. [5] 80-1110 allowed for the disorganization of townships and assigning those territories to contiguous townships. [6]
