TODAYS FEATURED TOWNSHIP (SCOTT)
Scott Township
Scott township was officially organized in October 1861 between Jackson Township (Montezuma) and Bear Creek Township (Brooklyn). No towns were established in the township. One settler, R. S. Willett had an orchard and nursery and won an award for the best variety of apples on display at the 1876 Exhibition in Philadelphia.There were two churches built in Scott Township: Fairview Presbyterian in 1886, and Fairmont Methodist in 1888, in Section 9. Both are now gone. The Scott Township Cemetery is located in Section 16, but only a few stones remain.
A gang of thieves and counterfeiters often holed up in a barn in Section 18. They were known as the Long Gang.
The southeastern part of Scott Township as well as parts of Lincoln and Deep River Townships, comprised what is known as Irish Ridge, as many Irish settled there. There were both Protestant and Catholic Irish, which caused some friction at times. The Enniskillin True Blue Loyal Orange Lodge #146 was formed in October 1876.
