Reaching Out to
Serve the Community
.jpg) 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.  Click
