History


Lewis Township was organized in the 1840s. It was named for Lewis Cass.
Elijah Rawley was one of the first settlers in what became Lewis Township, arriving in about 1823, and built a mill on the Eel River near "Old Hill." Thus "Old Hill" or "The Old Hill" is among the oldest settled points on the Eel River. In fact, according to a 1902 article, when the county was organized in 1825, " 'The Old Hill' was the most frequented and noted point within its borders." From 1848 until 1853, a Carrithers Township existed, and the voting place was at Rawley's, at the intersection of current County Roads 525W and 600 South.
