Lenawee County By John J. Adam, February 7th, 1878.
In the earlier stages I have given at length the full wording of the territorial laws relating to this county, as being much less known and less accessible than the more recent state legislation, and also so as to show what counties had been organized in the territory previously to the laying off and naming of Lenawee county, and what other counties were laid off and organized at the same time, thus denning, as it were, its relative ago and place in the history of the territory and state. The result of the muni cipal legislation respecting the county has been, that commencing with three townships in 1827, the twenty surveyed towns and five small frac tions graciously left us by congress on our southern border out of the
area originally belonging to the county, it has been organized into twenty-two townships and a city of four wards,—giving us a board of supervisors or county legislature of twenty-six members
