Palos Township is one of thirty townships in Cook County, Illinois, USA. As of the 2010 census, its population was 54,615.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Geographic Identifiers: 2010 Demographic Profile Data (DP-1): Palos township, Cook County, Illinois )〕 In 1850 the small town of Trenton, Illinois, changed its name to Palos. This recommendation was made by M.S. Powell, the local postmaster, whose ancestor supposedly sailed with Christopher Columbus from Palos de la Frontera. When it incorporated as a Village in 1914, Palos officially became Palos Park. The neighboring communities of Palos Hills and Palos Heights incorporated at later points. All three municipalities lie within Palos Township. ==Township Duties== According to Illinois law, Townships are responsible for the maintenance of Township roadways, the governance of the General Assistance program and the assessment of real property. In Cook County, Townships are not responsible for assessing real property as the Cook County Assessor performs that function. Some Townships have adopted other duties including the provision of health services. Palos Township runs a Health Clinic providing low or no cost physical examinations, sick visits, cholesterol tests and screenings, pregnancy tests, blood pressure screening, immunizations and other services. In 2013, the voters of Palos Township elected four new trustees who have expanded the services of the Township. The new Board of Trustees is currently working on bringing new services to township residents in the form of expanded veterans services, college scholarships, neighbor in need programs and others.
