First settled in 1838, it was a portion of civil township of Newark until organized in 1847 to include the present
townships of Ganges and Casco. Casco was set off in 1854. The township was named for the holy river of India.
The Lake Shore Road was laid out about 1843. Plummerville was founded in 1846, and the prosperous village of
Pier Cove in 1851, where a postoffice was established in 1853.
