Jefferson Township is located in Franklin County, Ohio. Situated on the northeast edge of the metropolitan area, the township is blessed with beautiful land but must contend with the strong development pressure that is typical of growing urban areas.
Beginning as early as 1973, Township leaders and residents decided to turn away from conventional approaches that commonly lead to suburban sprawl, and instead embraced a conservation development approach that rewards preservation and co
nservation of the existing rural atmosphere, historic character, and natural resources. This community direction has been very effective and resulted in an oasis of rural and natural character amid sprawling suburbs.
Jefferson Township has been recognized throughout the state of Ohio for this vision. In 2003, the Township obtained Ohio scenic byway status for the roadways in the Township that most exemplify the natural beauty and character of the Township became an obvious and widely accepted next step in the continued pursuit and accomplishment of the Township's Core Values.
