Van Buren Township is one of ten townships in Daviess County, Indiana. As of the 2020 census, its population was 2,813 (up from 2,552 at 2010[3]) and it contained 727 housing units.[4]
Van Buren Township was organized in September 1841; the last township to be formed in Daviess County, it was created in response to a petition circulated among residents of parts of Barr and Madison townships, praying to be set off as a separate township. In the first years of settlement, present-day Van Buren Township attracted few pioneers; most individuals in the area were trappers or hunters, and permanent settlement only began in the late 1820s.[6]
