Auxvasse Township (Township of Auxvasse)
Auxvasse Township is one of eighteen townships in Callaway County, Missouri, USA. As of the 2010 census, its population was 1,000.
Historical references to Auxvasse Township are complicated by the fact that, at the time of its founding on February 12, 1821, the Township was about 4 times larger than it is now, and included all of Callaway County east of Auxvasse Creek. The township as well as the city of Auxvasse are both named after Auxvasse Creek. Today's city of Auxvasse is not within today's borders of Auxvasse Township, although the city was near the northwest border of the Auxvasse Township of the early 1800s, which extended all the way north to what is now the Audrain-Callaway county line. Auxvasse Township was reduced gradually to its current size by 1826, first by the creation of (then larger and including Shamrock, Calwood, and part of Jackson) Nine Mile Prairie Township to the north of current boundaries. The city of Auxvasse is located about 15 miles to the north-northwest of Auxvasse Township, and about 3 miles from Callaway County's northern border with Audrain County.

Indigenous peoples have inhabited the Americas for thousands of years. Beginning in 1607, British colonization led to the establishment of the Thirteen Colonies in what is now the Eastern United States. They quarreled with the British Crown over taxation and political representation, leading to the American Revolution and proceeding Revolutionary War. The United States declared independence on July 4, 1776, becoming the first nation-state founded on Enlightenment principles of unalienable natural rights, consent of the governed, and liberal democracy. The country began expanding across North America, spanning the continent by 1848. Sectional division surrounding slavery in the Southern United States led to the secession of the Confederate States of America, which fought the remaining states of the Union during the American Civil War (1861–1865). With the Union's victory and preservation, slavery was abolished nationally by the Thirteenth Amendment.
