Nora Township
Jo Daviess Co IL
The Township of Nora is the northeastern township of the county, and for fertility of soil is unsurpassed
by any township in the State. Its first settler was George B. Stanchfield, although it has been claimed by some that one Garret
Garner was the first settler. Afterwards came Samuel
and Tilman H. Dobler and Asher Miner. The village
of Nora is located within its borders and is on the line of the Illinois Central Railroad. It was laid out by
George B. StanchfieId and John C. Gardner , the latter being then
County Surveyor. It was incorporated May 7, 1883.
