 | | In 1852 when the southern tier of townships was transferred to Warren county there became two Allen townships, township 77, range 23, Allen township in Warren county, and that part of township 78, range 23, which lies south of the Des Moines, Allen township in Polk county. |
 | | Camp township subsequently lost nearly half of its territory upon the organization of Beaver township, after which it was left with substantially the same territory as it now is composed of, viz: Township seventy-eight, range twenty-two, and that part of number seventy-seven, range twenty-two which lies north of the river. |
 | | The township was named after the creek, which rises in the northern part of the township, as originally constituted, and flows southward through nearly the entire extent of the township. |
