According to the 2010 census, the township has a total area of 74.33 square miles (192.5km2), of which 73.96 square miles (191.6km2) (or 99.50%) is land and 0.37 square miles (0.96km2) (or 0.50%) is water.

Although today the state's largest population center is around Chicago in the northern part of the state, the state's European population grew first in the west, with French Canadians who settled along the Mississippi River, and gave the area the name, Illinois. After the American Revolutionary War established the United States, American settlers began arriving from Kentucky in the 1810s via the Ohio River, and the population grew from south to north. In 1818, Illinois achieved statehood. After construction of the Erie Canal increased traffic and trade through the Great Lakes, Chicago was founded in the 1830s on the banks of the Chicago River, at one of the few natural harbors on southern Lake Michigan.John Deere's invention of the self-scouring steel plow turned Illinois' rich prairie into some of the world's most productive and valuable farmlands, attracting immigrant farmers from Germany and Sweden. Railroads carried immigrants to new homes, as well as being used to ship their commodity crops out to markets.
Though soon outclassed by newer and larger vessels, Illinois was destined to enjoy a long and distinguished career, first as a transatlantic passenger liner and later as the U.S. Navy'sauxiliary vesselUSSSupply. In the 1870s, Illinois may have been the first ship to successfully transport a shipment of fresh meat from the United States to Europe, twenty years before the introduction of refrigeration. As USS Supply, the ship served in both the Spanish–American War and the First World War, and crew members may have been the first United States personnel to fire a hostile shot in the latter. Illinois was scrapped in 1928.

I wanna know, who invented the wheel. Tell me who discovered steel? It was the wheel an' the steel that caused this pain, An' made the car that took him away. I wanna know who invented the wheel. I wanna know, who found the rock. Tell me who laid the black top. It was the rock an' the black top that caused this pain, And made the road for the car, that took him away. I wanna know who invented the wheel. Somebody give me a name, 'Cause I just need someone to blame, For all of this heartache, And pain I've been feelin', Since he had to go, I wanna know. I wanna know who invented the time, I didn't spend when he was mine. It was all that time I didn't take... It was the rock and the black top that made the highway, For the wheel and the steel for the car, that took him away. Somebody give me a name, 'Cause I just need someone to blame, For all of this heartache, And pain I've been feelin', Since he had to go, I wanna know. I wanna know. I wanna know who invented the wheel.
