Name and history

Monroe Township was organized in 1822.[4] It is one of twenty-two Monroe Townships statewide.[5]

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,[6] 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, Dale Barns[7] and Linda Stuart[8] were elected without opposition to the positions of township trustee and township fiscal officer respectively.

Transportation

Important highways in Monroe Township include State Routes 245 and 287.
