Township 7 is a township in Rooks County, Kansas, United States. Damar is the largest population center in Township 7.
Rooks County was established with four townships: Bow Creek, Lowell, Paradise and Stockton. That number increased to seven by 1878[2] and twenty three in 1925. The twenty three townships were in place until 1971 when the number was reduced to the current twelve townships.[3]
Township 7 was formed by renaming Richland Township[4] in 1971.[5] While other Rooks County townships were combined pursuant to Kansas Statute 80-1110,[6] Richland was just renamed using the new naming standard.
The South Fork Solomon River traverses the township.
Richland Township was formed in approximately 1880 from part of Stockton Township.[7]
