LEE TOWNSHIP

Lee Township was created by the County Court on the 1st day of March, 1857, and given the name of Badger but on the 6th day of September, 1858, the name was changed to that of Lee, in honor of Harvey Lee, an early settler of the county.

Harvey Lee, after whom the township was named, came here from Indiana in 1856 and located on section 32. Lived there until 1862 and went back to Indiana. About 1864 he returned and settled on section 3, in Union Township, where he remained until his death in 1884.
