The story so far

from Wikipedia & the U.S. Census

Curry Township is one of nine townships in Sullivan County, Indiana, United States. As of the 2020 census, its population was 3,398 and it contained 1,543 housing units. All three of Terre Haute's television affiliates (WTWO, WTHI, and WAWV) and several radio stations have or share transmitter towers in the northern end of the township just south of Farmersburg. The township is named after William Curry, who was the area's first settler when he arrived there in 1817 from Kentucky.

Between the 2010 and 2020 censuses its population fell from 3,559 to 3,398 (-5%). Half of its homes were built before 1977.
