VILLAGES AND TOWNS
SUPERVISOR DISTRICTS pg 390
We omitted to give the Supervisor Districts in their proper place, and insert them here. On June 3, 1874, the county was districted, for the purpose of electing three supervisors, according to Chapter 39 of the Acts of the 15th General Assembly.
The First District was composed of the townships of Oakland, Union, Columbus City and Elm Grove.
The Second District was composed of the townships of Eliot, Wapello, Morning Sun and Marshall.
The Third District was composed of the townships of Jefferson, Port Louisa, Grandview and Concord.
On June 8, 1876, the county was redistricted, the avowed reason being to make the districts more nearly even in population.
The First District was composed of the townships of Columbus City, Elm Grove and Marshall.
The Second District was composed of the townships of Union, Oakland, Concord, Grandview and Port Louisa.
The Third District was composed of the townships of Eliot, Jefferson, Wapello and Morning Sun.
At that time the first district had a population of 4,013, the second. 3,999. and the third. 4,487. The districts have not been changed since.
