Springfield township was organized on the sixth day of January 1835, the Board of county commissioners on that day making the following order: “On petition of Judah Leaming and others, it is ordered by the Board that all the territory in range three west, in the county of LaPorte, and north of sections number thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen and eighteen, in township thirty-seven, in said range, shall compose a new township to be called and known by the name of Springfield township, and it is further ordered that an election be held at the house of Judah Leaming in said township, on the last Saturday in this month for the purpose of electing a justice of the peace for said township; and it is further ordered that Judah Leaming be and he is hereby appointed inspector of elections in the township of Springfield in the county of LaPorte.”
Thus as originally organized, Springfield township occupied all of the congressional township number thirty-eight, except the six sections and the six half section which are in the State of Michigan, and the first twelve sections of township thirty-seven. It has since been diminished to the extent of on tier of sections on the south side, which became again a part of Centre township, and the boundary line between Centre and Springfield township is the north side of sections seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, and twelve, of township number thirty-seven, range number three west.

During the year 1835, the school house near Springville was burned; the first wedding took place, Abner Ross marrying Esther Rose; Jacob Early built a mill upon section twenty-eight, which has been worn out and rebuilt several times, the last time by E. S. Organ. In October of this year Charles Vail built a saw mill, Erastus Quivery assisting in its construction. Hopkins worked at the business of a carpenter, and also made brick, designing to build a tavern, but sold to Ingraham Gould. Prior to 1837, many more had come into the township, among them being Samuel Lehr, John Mason, Lemuel S. Fitch, Alfred Stanton, John Blue and Michael Falls.
