History
Liberty Township was originally called German Township, and under the latter name was organized in 1878.[2][3] It was originally settled chiefly by Germans, hence its former name.[4]
In the 20th century, German Township was renamed Liberty Township due to Anti-German sentiment during World War I.[3]
