The village of Hammel was laid out about the time the railroad was constructed (in 1844) and took the name of its proprietor. It is on the Miami, opposite Millgrove, and two miles below Fort Ancient, and contains a few families who are engaged in agricultural pursuits. There is a good district schoolhouse there, at which the various religious denominations have occasional services. The bottom lands at this place comprise about 100 acres. A number of large human skeletons have been exhumed there.

There are no other villages in the township, but each school district has its distinctive name, as Oak Grove, Springhill, Silver Grove, etc.
