History
Felix Township, Grundy County, is named for Felix Grundy, Senator from Tennessee.[3] The township was formed from portions of Wauponsee and Aux Sable townships in November, 1854.[4] Most of old Felix township was partitioned to form Goose Lake Township on September 15, 1897. These early boundary changes occurred mainly due to coal mining activity.
