Name and historySpringfield Township was established in 1804. It is the oldest township in Jefferson County.[4] In the early 19th century, Springfield Township was the residence of the "Blind Twaddle" family, a family of nine children, six of whom were born blind. At the time, they were considered one of the most remarkable families in the state of Ohio, and perhaps the United States. They attracted universal attention from physicians and scientific men throughout the world.[5] In 1818, the Ohio State Legislature passed "An act for the relief of John Twaddle", granting a quarter section of land to John and Mary Twaddle, the parents of the six blind children.[6] It is one of eleven Springfield Townships statewide.[7] GovernmentThe 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.
