History
 | 此章節尚無參考來源，內容或許無法查證。 (2007年6月1日) |
The township was created from portions of New Market and Union townships on August 9, 1819. Since then it has relinquished much of its land to Dodson, Clay and Hamer townships as they were formed.
Currently it is the smallest of the seventeen townships in Highland County with 12,700英畝（51平方公里）. Native American relics have been found on many farms and properties in the township, as it was a major Shawnee hunting and ceremonial region. The most interesting Native American site in Salem Township is Fort Salem, which consists of two large earthen mounds about 80英尺（24米） in length; as they sit on private property, they have never been excavated. However, Dr Raymond Baby, curator of archaeology for the Ohio Historical Society, visited the mounds in 1973 and stated that they were in a perfect state of preservation and confirmed their Native American origins.
