History
Carroll Township was one of the eight townships created in 1851. It was also the name of one of the original two townships created in March 1826, the other being called Ripley Township. It was probably named for Charles Carroll of Carrollton, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. Abraham Carroll, a resident of the area, may have influenced the choice.
