Reaching Out to Serve the Community 

Township government is one of the oldest forms of government in the United States, dating back to 1636. Our own township is over 150 years old and continues to evolve with the development of our community, while maintaining many of the functions it has had since its beginning:  property assessment, general assistance, programs for the senior population, voter registration and absentee voting, and maintenance for unincorporated roads.
