The story so far
from Wikipedia & the U.S. CensusDrury Township is located in Rock Island County, Illinois. As of the 2010 census, its population was 797 and it contained 328 housing units. Drury Township was so named on account of there being a large share of the first settlers with the last name Drury.
Between the 2010 and 2020 censuses its population fell from 797 to 758 (-5%). Half of its homes were built before 1949.
