Washington Township, Warren County, OhioWashington Township is one of the eleven townships of Warren County, Ohio. Located in the east central part of the county, it is the only one of the eleven that does not contain a municipality. The population in 2000 was 1,855, up from 1,354 in 1990, the second smallest population of the eleven. Washington Township was created by the Warren County Commissioners on June 27, 1818 and named for George Washington. It is bounded on the west by the Little Miami River (across the river is Turtlecreek Township); on the north by Wayne and Massie Townships; on the east by the Clinton County townships of Adams and Vernon; and on the south by Harlan and Salem Townships. It was wholly within the Virginia Military District and was surveyed under the metes and bounds system. The township is governed by a three-member board of trustees, who are elected in November of odd-numbered years to a four-year term beginning on the following January 1. Two are elected in the year after the presidential election and one is elected in the year before it. There is also an elected township clerk, who serves a four-year term beginning on April 1 of the year after the election, which is held in November of the year before the presidential election. Vacancies in the clerkship or on the board of trustees are filled by the remaining trustees. The township is the home of Fort Ancient, the ruins of an Indian city. Most of the township is in the Clinton Massie Local School District, but parts are in the Little Miami Local School District and the Lebanon City School District. Telephone service is provided through the Lebanon, Clarksville, Morrow, and Waynesville exchanges. Mail is delivered through the Clarksville, Lebanon, and Waynesville post offices.
