Hiram Township

Welcome

  Hiram Township was established in 1817 in the Northwest corner of Portage County, Ohio as a 25 square mile tract of land. It is bordered by the townships of Troy, Nelson, Mantua, Freedom and the village of Garrettsville. Over the years some of the original 25 square miles was used for the establishment of Garrettsville Village and 1 square mile for Hiram Village which sits directly in the middle of the township. Hiram Township is served by the Crestwood and Garfield school systems, 3 different telephone exchanges and the Post Offices of Hiram, Garrettsville and Mantua.

We have some new employees this year. If you do not want the backslope of your ditch mowed, please put up "DO NOT MOW" signs at the start and finish of your ditch. However, by law, we must mow the side of the ditch adjacent to the road. Thank you for your understanding.
