Reseburg was created by the county board on May 13, 1893 and met the first Tuesday in April of 1894 at a schoolhouse on Zimmer's Corners. The township was named for William Reseburg, an early settler and member of the Clark County Board. Reseburg was born in 1845 in Pommern, Prussia and came with his parents to Wisconsin in 1856. He settled in Clark County in 1879 and began farming in what was then Withee Township, purchasing 200 acres. Mr. Reseburg was active early on in township politics.
