Contents |
Located in the center of the county, it borders the following townships and city:
Most of the original extent of the township has been annexed by the cities of Newark, the county seat of Licking County, and Heath, both of which have created their own paper townships; the only remaining parts are the northeastern and northwestern corners of the original township, along with several enclaves of Newark.
It is the only Newark Township statewide.[4]
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.
