Township \Town"ship\, n.
   1. The district or territory of a town.

   Note: In the United States, many of the States are divided
         into townships of five, six, seven, or perhaps ten
         miles square, and the inhabitants of such townships are
         invested with certain powers for regulating their own
         affairs, such as repairing roads and providing for the
         poor. The township is subordinate to the county.

   2. In surveys of the public land of the United States, a
      division of territory six miles square, containing 36
      sections.

   3. In Canada, one of the subdivisions of a county.
