Paper TownshipPaper townships are a type of township under Ohio law which do not act as civil units of government. They exist because cities and villages in Ohio, which all sprang from townships, are allowed to withdrawn from their original township. When this is done, the municipality is officially considered as being in a paper township, which usually has the same name as the city, e.g. the Butler County seat of Hamilton is in Hamilton Township and the Montgomery County seat of Dayton is in Dayton Township. Sometimes, however, an entire township has been incorporated under a different name, such as Van Buren Township in Montgomery County, which became the City of Kettering in 1955. Probably the best known of these paper townships is Mill Creek Township, which was in south-central Hamilton County and was absorbed by the City of Cincinnati in the Nineteenth Century. *Paper townships
