  1884 Douglas County, Illinois History - Tuscola Township
The name of this township is derived from that of the city, but the origin of it is involved in obscurity, the most diligent inquiry having failed to disclose its source, or to draw out any account of it which promised any satisfaction.
The township is bounded on the north by the north line of the county, which separates it from Champaign County; on the west by Garrett Township, and the line between Ranges 7 and 8, of Township 16 north; on the south by Arcola Township, and on the east by Camargo and Bowdre.
The township is also intersected by the St. Louis branch of the Indianapolis, Bloomington and Western Railroad, which runs east and west through it, along, very nearly, the middle line of the south tier of sections in Township 16 north, Range 8 east, crossing the Illinois Central Railroad at Tuscola.

The following year the township was organized and the selection of a name commemorated the fact that in the previous presidential election, which elected Buchanan, every vote in the township was cast for Fremont and Dayton.
