Allen Township is one of the fourteen townships of Union County, Ohio, United States. The 2010 census found 2,263 people in the township.

History

Statewide, other Allen Townships are located in Darke, Hancock, and Ottawa Counties.[3]

Allen Township was organized on June 5, 1827.[4] The town was named for Daniel Allen, one of the first settlers to the area. Allen was one of the first thirteen citizens to vote in the township, and was one of the first trustees.[4]

One of the township's first settlers was Angus Clark; his son Shepard became a leading farmer in the township, and the Clark family property is today a local landmark known as "The Fort".[5]
