Millcreek Township was organized in the early 1820s, and named after Mill Creek.[4] It is the only Millcreek Township remaining statewide, after the abolition of the one in Hamilton County, although there are Mill Creek Townships in Coshocton and Williams counties.
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,[5] 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.
