inquire about having the township named &#8220;Center Swamp Township&#8221;, for there was a large swamp in the center of it.\u00a0 Commissioner George Bair objected to the name because it would bring shame to the township.\u00a0 At the suggestion of Bair, it was named &#8220;Milton Township&#8221;.\u00a0 Before the official naming, it was known as Township 18 of Range 12.<\/div><div

&#8220;Johnson&#8221; and &#8220;Cotton&#8221; are still recognized in the area today.\u00a0 Small towns like Johnson&#8217;s Corners (aka &#8220;Amwell&#8221;), Russell, Milton Station, and
