Information About

College Township




The village of College Corner takes its name from its position in the northwest corner of this section and the Indiana town of College Corner took its name from its Ohio counterpart.

When Butler County was originally divided into townships in 1803 , this land was included in St. Clair Township , then later Milford Township before Oxford Township was erected in 1811 .

The first General Assembly 's first appropriation for highways was for the road from Chillicothe (then the state capital) to the college township via Lebanon . In Butler County, this corresponds to the present-day State Route 73.
