As of the 2010 census, its population was 3,996 and it contained 1,645 housing units, 75% of which live in areas adjacent to Owensville.[3] Montgomery Township is served by the South Gibson School Corporation. Gibson Generating Station and Gibson Lake are located at the northern end of Montgomery Township. GeographyAccording to the 2010 census, the township has a total area of {{convert|97.2|sqmi}}, of which {{convert|91.64|sqmi}} (or 94.28%) is land and {{convert|5.56|sqmi}} (or 5.72%) is water.[3] Lakes in the township include Broad Pond (Gibson Lake), Burnett's Pond and Mauck's Pond. The Wabash River borders the northwest township line. History"Purty Old Tom" is noted by historian Gil R. Stormont[4] as the namesake for the township, one of the original six created by the commissioners of the newly formed county (1813). Thomas "Purty Old Tom" Montgomery came to southern Knox County in 1805 and marked an oak tree near a spring. Something delayed his return with family to claim that land, so he ended up settling on the west bank of Black River near the present site of Owensville. He is mentioned on the Gibson County and Montgomery County, Kentucky page. He was one of seven sons of Hugh Montgomery, Sr., of Virginia to fight in the Revolutionary War.[5] Cities and towns
