Population over time
2 figuresCadiz grew from 150 to 163 between 2010 and 2020. These are the recorded population figures Wikidata holds for this place, reached through the Geographic Names Information System number this page is keyed on rather than by name, so they belong to this place and not to another of the same name. Most are census counts, but not all are: an early figure may be a founding or settlement estimate, and an estimate published within five years of a census is left out. The change column is computed, and is left blank where more than 20 years separate a figure from the one before it, because a gap that long is not a change between two counts.

Harrison Township was formed Hov. 7, 1838, from portions of Greensboro and Fall Creek townships. The township has an undulating surface and a good soil. Improvements are generally good. The progress of settlement was at first very slow, consequently there was not, for some years, as much advancement in improving as in other parts of the county, but for forty years or more the work has progressed rapidly. Sugar Creek, Montgomery's Creek, Deer Creek, Honey Creek, Duck Creek and several other small streams rise in this township.
