It then consisted of the present townships of Schleswig, Meeme, Centerville, and the south one-third of Eaton, Liberty, and Newton. It was not until 1850 that Centerville was detached and Meeme limited to the present townships of Meeme and Schleswig. The township of Abel (Schleswig) was detached from Meeme in 1855. The first school districts in the original areas included in Meeme township were organized around the settlements along the old Green Bay military road, now highway 42. The first districts were set up in the Osman and Meeme villages. The numbering of the districts is explained in the individual district school articles.
