History


Compromise Township formed from parts of Kerr Township and Rantoul Township on an unknown date.


Geography


Compromise is Township 21 North, parts of Ranges 10 and 11 East of the Third Principal Meridian and part of Range 14 West of the Second Principal Meridian. When the federal township land surveys were done in 1821 one group of surveyors went west from the Second Principal Meridian and another went east from the Third Principal Meridian. Both groups used rawhide measuring lines that expanded and contracted with the weather. When the two groups met in eastern Champaign County the surveys didn't agree, resulting in double section numbers in the eastern townships and ongoing property line confusion among landowners.[3]

According to the 2010 census, the township has a total area of 47.75 square miles (123.7 km2), all land.[2]
