Place:Crawford (township), Wyandot, Ohio, United States

Crawford Township was organized as a township in Crawford County in the year 1821. Its nominal boundaries then included all, or at least nearly all, of that part of the former county now forming part of the county of Wyandot. (Wyandot was formed in 1845.) The organization of Crawford County took place in the year 1825, when Crawford Township was reduced to its present area—a full surveyed subdivision of thirty-six sections, known otherwise as Township 1 south, of Range 13 east (first principal meridian). It is one of the northern tier of townships of Wyandot, bounded on the north by Seneca County, on the east by Tymochtee Township, on the south by Salem Township, and on the west by Ridge Township. The township was named for Col. William Crawford who was burned at the stake in 1782 by the Delaware Indians.^[1]
