The story so far
from Wikipedia & the U.S. CensusJackson Township is one of fourteen townships in Carroll County, Indiana. As of the 2020 census, its population was 1,387 (slightly down from 1,391 at 2010) and it contained 523 housing units. It is uncertain how or for whom the township was named, but Adam Porter, one of the township's earliest settlers who arrived in the late 1820s, is described as hailing from Jackson Township, Virginia, and may have named it.
Its population held steady between the last two censuses: 1,391 people in 2010, 1,387 in 2020. Half of its homes were built before 1938.
