Elmore Township is one of ten townships in Daviess County, Indiana, United States. As of the 2020 census, its population was 1,120 and it contained 462 housing units.[3]
Elmore Township was organized on 13 August 1821 from the northern part of Bogard Township. It was named for the Elmore family; although they were not the first settlers (they arrived in 1818, two years after the first settlement), they owned land near the township's voting location. The township's population fluctuated greatly in its early years; many individuals built boats and floated down the White River, while large numbers of people from other states settled in the township. Perhaps the most significant growth occurred in 1825, when at least five Tennessee families and at least one family from Kentucky settled in the township.[5]
