How to use "Township" in context?
Township can be defined as a locality consisting of one or more villages and hamlets, and is administered by a municipal council. The word township first appeared in the early 12th century and is derived from the Old English word "tūn" meaning "a community of peasants." The history of township can be traced back to the time when medieval societies were organized into hierarchies of nobility, clergy, and peasantry. The township was the lowest level of medieval society, inhabited by peasants who were provided with basic necessities by their lords.
