 | | On the north of the township is Arlington, on the south Hamilton, on the east Paw Paw, and on the west Hartford. |
 | | Although the early settlements in the township concentrated upon the site of Lawrence village, the first settlement in the township was made on the west shore of Prospect Lake, on section 26, by Stephen Fountain, a bachelor, in June, 1835. |
 | | Their territory of exploration covered the present townships of Hartford, Lawrence, and Arlington, and when they entered upon their task of providing roads for a new country where roads had not been, and where water-courses, marshes, and swamps were no inconsiderable obstacles, they needed indeed all the vigorous energy and persistent industry at their command. |
