In 1853, Traverse Township was organized, and comprised all of Grand Traverse County excluding the Old Mission Peninsula. In April 1867, Blair Township was organized from the section of Traverse Township at 26 north, range 11 west. The township is named for Austin Blair, who served as Governor of Michigan during the American Civil War.
