** Campbell Township....
Campbell Township was one of the seven original townships organized March 11, 1833, when the county was much larger. Its present boundaries include all the sections in T29N and R21 and 22W. It is bounded by Center Township on the west, Robberson, and Franklin Townships on the north, Taylor Township on the east, and Wilson, Clay and Townships on the south. It is of somewhat greater significance in that it is within this township that the county seat of Springfield is located. It is named after John Polk Campbell who donated the land for Springfield's public square and platted the town site.
