Boundary article
Liberty Township held named rural settlements, but they were the township's, not the town's quarters. The Huggart settlement on the township's east — free Black farm families from the 1830s, inside the present state park, carried in the parks leg — and the township's district-school geography of one-room schools scattered across its sections are communities of the township record. Neither was ever a neighborhood of North Liberty, and this section does not annex them rhetorically; they register here at boundary size so that the town's own namelessness is not mistaken for the ground's. A caution prints with them: a Johnson School, District Number 5, with an 1854 schoolhouse, appears in a published Liberty Township fire-department history — but that history is Porter County's Liberty Township, a different township with the same name, and nothing from it is used for this ground.
