Bear Creek Township in the southwestern part of CC was named from the tradition that states that an immense bear was killed on the creek that now bears the same name. Prior to the organization of CC, the township was part of Montgomery County, being taken from it and joined to the portion subtracted from Shelby to make the new section in 1839. The first settlers were in 1829.
