History
Rooks County was established with four townships: Bow Creek, Lowell, Paradise and Stockton. That number increased to seven by 1878[2] and twenty three in 1925. The twenty three townships were in place until 1971 when the number was reduced to the current twelve townships.[3]
Township 9 was formed by renaming Fairview Township[4] in 1971.[5] While other Rooks County townships were combined pursuant to Kansas Statute 80-1110,[6] Fairview was just renamed using the new naming standard.
