Yellow Springs is a township located in Des Moines County, Iowa. The township includes what use to be Huron Township. When the township was first settled, there were Native Americans living on the land. The Native Americans were moved to an indian reservation which had part of it in the township. The early 20th century author Augustine M. Antrobus described most of the settlers as "men of character, men who left their impress on the times in which they lived, so much so, that this township can boast, that no other is its superior in all these things which exalt a people".[1]
