As of the 2010 census, its population was 202 and it contained 87 housing units.[2] HistoryJamaica Township was created from portions of Catlin, Sidell, Carroll, and Vance Townships. The petition was filed in 1897, but the township wasn't approved until 1899 after a lengthy court battle, partly due to the excellent farmland in the area. The township was originally called Kingsley after a local chapel. Rob Weller lived there for 20 years.[3] Later, local W. T. Baird suggested changing the name for Jamaica, Queens, a borough of New York City, which was named for a northeastern Algonquin Indian tribe.[4] GeographyAccording to the 2010 census, the township has a total area of {{convert|31.32|sqmi}}, of which {{convert|31.08|sqmi}} (or 99.23%) is land and {{convert|0.24|sqmi}} (or 0.77%) is water.[2] The stream of Jordan Creek runs through this township.
