Turtlecreek is the largest township in the county, originally containing sixty-three whole and seven fractional sections. It had a population of 12,617 in 2000, up from 10,383 in 1990. Of those, 12,114 lived in the unincorporated part of the township, 456 in Middletown, and 47 in Monroe. ==Geography== Located in the central and western parts of the county, it borders the following townships: *Clearcreek Township - north *Wayne Township - northeast *Washington Township - east, across the Little Miami River *Salem Township - southeast *Union Township - south *Deerfield Township - southwest *Lemon Township, Butler County - west, north of Liberty Township *Liberty Township, Butler County - west, south of Liberty Township *Franklin Township - northwest The city of Lebanon withdrew from the township in the 1960s and formed a paper township.

Most of the township was in the Symmes Purchase, but the two northernmost rows of sections were not, though they are surveyed in the same manner as the Purchase. The township is named for the Turtle Creek, a stream named for Indian chief Little Turtle. It is the only Turtlecreek Township statewide, although there is a Turtle Creek Township in Shelby County. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Turtlecreek Township, Warren County, Ohio」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
