History
[编辑]One of the original townships of Warren County, it was created on May 10, 1803, nine days after the county was erected. The original boundaries were: "Beginning at the northeast corner of Section 33 in the third township; thence east to the northeast corner of the county; thence south to a point drawn due east from the north boundard of the third military range; thence due west to the southwest corner of Section 25, in the fourth range; thence due north to the place of beginning." When created, Warren County extended much farther to the east than today and Wayne Township encompassed a large area now in Clinton County. On June 26, 1806, Eaton Township was created from that part of Wayne lying east of Caesars Creek. On August 4, 1804, a strip two miles wide was taken from the south side and made part of the new Turtlecreek Township and on September 11, 1815, a two-mile wide strip was cut of the west side and added to the new Clearcreek Township. On October 10, 1850, Massie Township was created from parts of Wayne and Washington Townships.
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,[4] 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.
Public services
[编辑]Most of the township is in the Wayne Local School District, but parts are in the Lebanon, Spring Valley, Clinton Massie and Xenia districts.
The township is mainly in the Waynesville telephone exchange, but parts are in the Spring Valley, Bellbrook, Lebanon, and Centerville exchanges.
