Ann Arbor Charter Township is a charter township of Washtenaw County in the U.S. state of Michigan. As of the 2010 census, the township population was 4,361. The city of Ann Arbor is adjacent to the township on the south and west sides. Small islands of the township also lie within the boundaries of the city of Ann Arbor. Under a 1994 boundary agreement with the city of Ann Arbor, eventually all of these islands will be permitted to be annexed by the city.
The Township of Ann Arbour was organized in 1827 by the Legislative Council of the Michigan Territory and the Village of Ann Arbour, which later became the City of Ann Arbor, was organized in 1833. As villages remain part of the township, the village of Ann Arbour did not become completely detached from the township until it reorganized as the city of Ann Arbor.
The now defunct unincorporated community of Osmer lay in the township. The town was a stop on the Tuscola and Saginaw Bay Railway. Another community Cornwell centered around Cornwell Mills, was begun in the township in 1877.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the township has a total area of 16.9 square miles (43.7 km2), of which 16.7 square miles (43.3 km2) is land and 0.15 square miles (0.4 km2), or 0.86%, is water. The city of Ann Arbor was established within the borders of Ann Arbor Township. Over the years, the city expanded, annexing portions of the township as the city grew and reducing the land area of the township. Under a 1994 boundary agreement with the City of Ann Arbor, those areas of the Township lying within the future boundaries of the city will be subject to annexation by the city.
To the east of Ann Arbor Township lies Superior Township, to the west lies Scio Township, to the south lies Pittsfield Township, and to the north lies Northfield Township.
