Name and history
[编辑]It is the only Denmark Township statewide.[4]
The area now composing Denmark Township was long inhabited by the Seneca Indian tribe. Peter Knapp, a New Yorker who arrived in 1809, was the first white settler in the area.[5]
Denmark Township was described in 1833 as having one gristmill and two saw mills.[6]
Government
[编辑]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,[7] 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. Currently, the board is composed of chairman Charles Frye and members Chad Corron and Fred Williams.[5]
