The story so far

from Wikipedia & the U.S. Census

Clark Township is a township in Chariton County, in the U.S. state of Missouri. Clark Township has the name of Henry Clark, a pioneer citizen.

Between the 2010 and 2020 censuses its population fell from 456 to 426 (-7%). Half of its homes were built before 1979.

Wikipedia doesn’t have a history of Clark yet — the old photos, dates and memories neighbors add here are how it gets written.
