MICHIGAN VS. OTHER STATES
Michigan has one of America's largest township systems.
Township government is common in parts of the Midwest and Northeast but is not a national default. The 2022 Census of Governments counted 1,240 township governments in Michigan. For scale, five states in the same Census classification had more township governments.
Comparison source: U.S. Census Bureau, 2022 Census of Governments, Local Governments by Type and State. Cross-state terminology is not perfectly uniform: the Census Bureau classifies certain governments legally called towns as township governments. The comparison is therefore a Census government-type comparison, not a claim that every state uses Michigan's exact legal structure.
DO ALL STATES HAVE TOWNSHIPS?
No. Township government exists in only part of the United States.
The Census Bureau says 28 states and Puerto Rico have minor civil divisions of some kind, but those divisions function as general-purpose governments in all or part of only 20 states. Michigan is one of them.
6 states
Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island.
3 states
New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
11 states
Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri.
Important distinction: a minor civil division is a Census geography. Some MCDs are active governments; others are mainly administrative geography. And a survey township—the six-mile-square land grid familiar from property descriptions—is not automatically a township government.
A SHORT HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN TOWNSHIP
From New England town meetings to Michigan's local government map.
The word “township” carries two related American histories: one about local self-government and another about how land was surveyed. In the Midwest, those histories often overlap.
New England builds local self-government.
New England towns were among the earliest durable local governments in colonial America. Town meetings and elected local officers helped establish traditions of community-level self-government that later spread west.
The federal survey creates the six-mile township grid.
The Land Ordinance of 1785 standardized western land surveys. Federal territory was divided into townships six miles square, then into 36 one-square-mile sections. That is the origin of the survey township still visible on Michigan plat maps.
Township government moves into the Northwest Territory.
The Northwest Ordinance established a government framework for territory that later included Michigan. Beginning around 1790, territorial officials created county and township governments that often tracked the federal survey grid.
Migration brings the township model into Michigan.
The Michigan Townships Association notes that New England and New York traditions moved west with settlement, especially as the Erie Canal accelerated migration into Michigan. Michigan's general township law is rooted in the Revised Statutes of 1846.
Michigan creates the charter township.
The Legislature created charter township status in 1947 to give growing townships additional powers, streamlined administration and greater protection against annexation. Today, about 146 of Michigan's 1,240 townships use the charter form.
HOW MICHIGAN WORKS
Township, village and city are different layers.
Michigan's local-government structure makes more sense once you separate the three forms.
01
Township
The base local-government unit outside cities. Michigan has general law and charter townships. State law mandates property assessment, tax collection and election administration; townships may also provide planning, zoning, public safety, cemeteries, parks and other services.
02
Village
A village remains geographically inside a township. Village residents therefore participate in both the village and township structure and may receive services from both governments.
03
City
An incorporated city is generally separated from township government and assumes municipal responsibilities within its boundaries.
04
Survey township
A six-mile-square land-survey unit divided into 36 sections. It helps describe land, but the survey grid itself is not the same thing as a functioning township government.

Michigan townships: frequently asked questions

How many townships are in Michigan?
Michigan has 1,240 township governments. The Michigan Townships Association currently identifies 146 as charter townships, leaving 1,094 general law townships.
What is the largest township in Michigan by population?
Clinton Charter Township in Macomb County is Michigan’s largest township. The U.S. Census Bureau Vintage 2025 population estimate is 101,374 residents, up from a 2020 estimates base of 100,555.
Does every U.S. state have townships?
No. The Census Bureau says 28 states and Puerto Rico have minor civil divisions of some kind, but those divisions function as general-purpose governmental units in all or part of only 20 states.
Which states have functioning township or town governments?
The 20 states are Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri.
How does Michigan compare with other township states?
Using the 2022 Census of Governments classification, Michigan had 1,240 township governments. Selected higher-count states included Minnesota with 1,779, Pennsylvania with 1,546, Illinois with 1,425, Ohio with 1,308 and Wisconsin with 1,245. State terminology and powers differ.
Where did township government in America come from?
American township government grew from 17th-century New England traditions of local self-government. It spread west, and the Northwest Ordinance era helped establish county and township government in territory that later became Michigan and other Midwestern states.
What is the difference between a survey township and a government township?
A survey township is the six-mile-square land grid standardized by the Land Ordinance of 1785 and divided into 36 sections. A government township is a legal local-government unit created under state law. In Michigan the two often resemble each other geographically, but they are not the same concept.
What is the difference between a general law township and a charter township in Michigan?
Both are statutory township governments. Michigan created charter township status in 1947 to provide additional powers, streamlined administration and greater annexation protection for growing townships. The Michigan Townships Association currently counts 146 charter townships.
What do Michigan townships do?
State law mandates property assessment, tax collection and election administration. Depending on local needs and legal authority, townships may also provide planning and zoning, police and fire services, cemeteries, parks and recreation, utilities and other local services.
What is the difference between a Michigan township, village and city?
A township is the base local-government unit outside cities. A village remains geographically inside a township, so village residents participate in both layers. An incorporated city is generally separated from township government.
What population data does the Michigan township ranking use?
The primary ranking uses the U.S. Census Bureau Vintage 2025 minor civil division population estimates for July 1, 2025. If that official workbook is temporarily unavailable, the theme falls back to the complete 2020 Census TIGERweb township table rather than showing a partial ranking.
