Then it became a part of the Meeme township until 1855 when the present town of Schleswig was organized and named Abel. It was not until a year later that the township was officially named Schleswig. This change in township name was petitioned for by 35 persons living in Abel and was granted by the County Board on November 18, 1856. School districts number 1 and 2 were organized while the township was designated Abel. The numbering of the school districts was according to the establishment and official organization of each. Kiel, which was originally Schleswig Jt. 4, became Kiel Jt. 1 and the new Schleswig Jt. 4 set up in 1929.
