Vermilion Co., Illinois by

Jones - publ. 1911
Love Township was created at a more
recent time yet than any other. It was March 4, 1902, that J.
W. Payne made statement that the citizens of the eastern part of
Elwood township desired to be set apart in a precinct of their own,
claiming that they could not have satisfactory political privileges
under the old division. The result of this was the creation of a
new township. This name was given the township last formed which
occupies the extreme southeast corner of the county, in honor of
Judge Love, who at that time was judge of Vermilion County.
