    Note Apr 1864 
    • The first government township to be separately organized in Martin county was Nashville Township. Because of its proximity to much timber on the Blue Earth river and being nearer to market, Nashville settled rapidly and in 1864 had sufficient people to maintain a township government.
      In April, 1864, A. M. Nash and other residents petitioned the board of county commissioners to set Nashville off from what was then known as Waverly precinct and call a special township election to elect officers. The commissioners granted the petition and ordered the election to be held May 3, 1864 at the home of A. M. Nash.
      Some of the residents wanted the township named Buffalo as shortly before a few of these animals had been seen in the township, probably the last buffalo ever seen in the county. The commissioners however decided to honor the name of Mr. Nash and called the township Nashville.
