Washington Township, founded in 1839, is a rural, agricultural community that offers open space, farm lands, and residential property for growing families and  farms. Today, we are fortunate to have jobs held by many township residents who work at both large and small area businesses.  Washington Township residents enjoy a beautiful park, the protection of our Police Department, well maintained roads and cemeteries, and zoning laws enforced by its own zoning inspector.
