Carroll Townsip is located in Ottawa County, Ohio.

Sand Beach Pavillion

The township was formed in 1835 from Portage Twp., Sandusky County. When Ottawa County was formed its boundaries remained unchanged. If, as claimed, there ever was a gentleman named "Carroll", he does not appear on the 1820, 1830, or 1840 census. From 1835-1837 a band of thieves lived along the south bank of the Toussaint. They plundered as far away as Toledo, Fremont, and Sandusky. Vigilante settlers turned out 'en masse' with guns and drove the thieves away.
