Turtlecreek Township was established by the Warren County Commissioners on August 15, 1804. It is the only Turtlecreek Township statewide, although there is a Turtle Creek Township in Shelby County. The township is named for the Turtle Creek, a stream named for Indian chief Little Turtle. Most of the township was in the Symmes Purchase, but the two northernmost rows of sections were not, though they are surveyed in the same manner as the Purchase. Those areas within Monroe, however, remain in the township. Portions of the township have also been lost to annexations by the cities of Monroe, Middletown, and Mason. The city of Lebanon withdrew from the township in the 1960s and formed a paper township.
