List of townships in Michigan
This is an alphabetical list of townships in the U.S. state of Michigan. For listings of townships by county, see Category:Townships in Michigan by county. There are 1,240 civil townships in Michigan's 83 counties. This list includes both general law townships as well as charter townships. Most of these townships (at least in the Lower Peninsula) are based on survey townships of 36 square miles (93 km2). In some less populated counties in Northern Michigan as well as in the Upper Peninsula, civil townships often comprise several survey townships (such areas are often expanses of National or State Forests).
