Silver Creek Township was surveyed in June of 1852. It was settled by Irish immigrants.  They were a close knit group of people and about 1885 they organized a Methodist Sunday School which was in the SE Section of 18. In 1890 a Methodist Church was built in the NW corner of Section 22.

A post office was established between 1874-1881 in the SW Section of 18 with Paris Fobes serving as postmaster.

Some of these early families that came in the 1870’s were the Fairs, Andersons, Baxter, Noll, Collin, and many more…

G.A. Clapsaddle was one of the largest land owners in the township, having over 820 acres of land at one time. 

Many of the farms have been handed down through the generation, many still having the same farm their grandparents and great-grandparents owned.
