According to the 2010 census, its population was 247 and it contained 105 housing units.[2] It is almost entirely agricultural and contains no incorporated towns. HistoryJordan Township was created in 1850 from a section of the adjacent Liberty Township. At this time the land was marshy and not considered very good for farming, and was used largely for grazing livestock. Starting around 1880, some of the higher ground began to be farmed, and as the population increased this was expanded. The grain grown was either fed to livestock or hauled by wagon to elevators at Ambia, West Lebanon, or Rossville, Illinois. GeographyAccording to the 2010 census, the township has a total area of {{convert|40.56|sqmi}}, of which {{convert|40.55|sqmi}} (or 99.98%) is land and {{convert|0.02|sqmi}} (or 0.05%) is water.[2] The small town of Pence lies near the western edge of the township, which is also the Illinois border. An even smaller town, Stewart, is located about {{convert|2|mi}} east of Pence and now consists mainly of a grain processing facility. Near the southern border of the township lies the town of Hedrick. The town of Sloan once existed just east of Hedrick but no buildings now remain. Likewise, the town of Sycamore Corner was {{convert|2|mi}} east of Stewart at {{coord|40|21|36|N|87|26|04|W}} but is now entirely gone. {{clear left}}CemeteriesThe township's only cemetery is Jordan Cemetery.[3] It lies just to the northeast of Pence at {{coord|40|22|1.21|N|87|30|25.05|W|type:landmark}}; the earliest marker here is from 1850. EducationJordan Township is part of the Metropolitan School District of Warren County.[4] GovernmentJordan Township has a trustee who administers rural fire protection and ambulance service, provides relief to the poor, manages cemetery care, and performs farm assessment, among other duties. The trustee is assisted in these duties by a three-member township board. The trustees and board members are elected to four-year terms.[5] Jordan Township is part of Indiana's 8th congressional district, Indiana House of Representatives District 42,[6] and Indiana State Senate District 38.[7] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://geonames.usgs.gov|accessdate=2017-05-09|title=US Board on Geographic Names|publisher=United States Geological Survey|date=October 25, 2007}} * {{cite gnis|0453519|Jordan Township|2009-09-24}}2. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://factfinder2.census.gov/bkmk/table/1.0/en/DEC/10_SF1/GCTPH1.CY10/0500000US18171 |title=Population, Housing Units, Area, and Density: 2010 - County -- County Subdivision and Place -- 2010 Census Summary File 1 |publisher=United States Census |accessdate=2013-05-10}} 3. ^{{cite gnis|437111|Jordan Cemetery|2011-01-27}} 4. ^{{cite web |url = http://mustang.doe.state.in.us/SEARCH/snapcorp.cfm?corp=8115 |title = Corporation Snapshot, M S D Warren County #8115 |publisher = Indiana Department of Education |accessdate = 2011-01-27 |deadurl = yes |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20020706030312/http://mustang.doe.state.in.us/SEARCH/snapcorp.cfm?corp=8115 |archivedate = 2002-07-06 |df = }} 5. ^{{cite web |url=http://unitedtownships.org/?page_id=95 |title=Government |publisher=United Township Association of Indiana |accessdate=2011-01-06}} 6. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.in.gov/sos/elections/files/complete_senate.pdf |title=Indiana Senate |format=PDF |publisher=State of Indiana |accessdate=2013-12-02}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.in.gov/sos/elections/files/complete_house.pdf |title=Indiana House Districts |format=PDF |publisher=State of Indiana |accessdate=2013-12-02}}
