The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗The township takes its name from the bois d'arc or hedgeapple, due to local farmer Lewis Thomas having created an early example of a hedgeapple hedge at his farm in the township in 1851. Prior to the adoption of township government, the land in the township was part of the Zanesville Precinct. Montgomery County voters approved township government at the general election on November 5, 1872, and the county's townships were formally organized in 1873.
