Founded in 1803, Deerfield Township truly is a great place to live, work and shop! The Pilgrims brought the township form of government to America in 1620. This form of government, which New Englanders still refer to as the “town,” eventually spread west to the Rocky Mountains. Today 22 states have the township form of government.

Just as in 1803, Ohio townships today are political subdivisions of the state. Over the years the functions and duties of the township have evolved to keep pace with changing times. The state legislature has granted townships authority to fulfill these increasing duties. A Home Rule Township, Deerfield Township has grown in scope and autonomy. Because residents have a voice in how their community takes shape, township government could be said to be the form of government closest to the people.

Recreation
Deerfield Township is home to a major cinema complex, specialty shops, hiking trails, and an abundance of parks.

The Deerfield Towne Center lifestyle mall has more than 60 retail shops and some of the finest restaurants.
