North of Des Moines River Annexed to Summit Township
The Polk Township area north of the Des Moines River, about eight sections, is joined to Summit Township by the county Board of Supervisors in the first such change in Marion County in 75 years. The river south of the river area, about 16 sections, remains a separate township. The move follows petitions citing Rousseau bridge loss and longer travel to polling places. Polk’s long history dates to 1848, with origins in Knoxville and Red Rock townships, and prior boundary shifts that defined its current four-tier, 24-section extent for 106 years.
