Located at the center of the county, it borders the following townships:

  • Rushcreek Township - northeast
  • Jefferson Township - east
  • Liberty Township - south
  • Harrison Township - west

Most of the city of Bellefontaine, the county seat of Logan County, is located in Lake Township, occupying all but the northern, southeastern, and southwestern parts of the township.

Name and history

Lake Township was organized in 1818.[4] This township took its name from Silver Lake, which is now located in Harrison Township.[5] Statewide, other Lake Townships are located in Ashland, Stark, and Wood counties.

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, 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.

In the elections of November 2007, James Wish was elected without opposition in the election for the position of township trustee,[6] while Bill Boy defeated Chris Dinovo in the election for the position of township fiscal officer.[7]

Transportation

Highways in Lake Township include U.S. Routes 33 and 68, and State Routes 47 and 540.
