Name and history

Berlin Township was organized March 20, 1820 prior to the formation of Holmes County which occurred January 20, 1824. It therefore began as a township of Coshocton County. The original township included all of the present day Berlin Township plus the part of the present day Walnut Creek Township that was then in Coshocton County as well as the parts of the present day Salt Creek and Paint Townships north of these areas and south of the Greenville Treaty Line.[5]

Statewide, other Berlin Townships are located in Delaware, Erie, Knox, and Mahoning counties.[6]

Important and historic sites

A major attraction for visitors is the Amish & Mennonite Heritage Center providing a glimpse of the traditional ways of the Amish and an illustrated history in its extensively large mural called Behalt.[7]

Government

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 fiscal officer,[8] 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 fiscal officership or on the board of trustees are filled by the remaining trustees.
