Name and history

Mifflin Township was established about 1814.[4] When Ashland County was formed on 24 February 1846, Mifflin Township was partitioned, with original records remaining in the eastern ~1/3 portion of "old" Mifflin Township in the new Ashland County, and the western ~2/3 portion of "new" Mifflin Township remaining in Richland County.[citation needed]

Statewide, other Mifflin Townships are located in Franklin, Pike, Richland, and Wyandot 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,[5] 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.
