Can We Be Both Valley City and Liverpool Township?
Sure can. And we are!
Liverpool is a 5 mile square township, under the governmental authority of Trustees, according to Ohio law.
Valley City is the Post Office name. It includes the four mail delivery routes which approximately are the same as the Liverpool borders. So the two are almost the same. Sometimes the postal routes extend into surrounding townships. Sometimes they do not quite cover each address in the township. Most people use the names interchangeably, and for most purposes they are.

Liverpool Township is a semi-rural community located in Medina County in Northeast Ohio. It is approximately equi-distant between Cleveland and Akron. Settled in 1810 it was originally known as Township 4 in Range XV of the Connecticut Western Reserve. It was the first permanent settlement in Medina County. In 1816 it was formally established as Liverpool Township. The Post Office name was changed to Valley City in 1910 to distinguish it from East Liverpool, Ohio. The population is reported by the Year 2010 Census as 5127. The remaining farmland is rapidly being converted to housing. Valley City is home to Medina County’s largest industrial park of over 900 acres. Census information is available from the Medina County Planning Commission.

Township Government:
The Township government consists of three elected Trustees and an elected Township Clerk, plus various appointed positions. Offices are in the Community Center, 6801 School Street, Valley City.

Regular Trustee meetings, open to the public, are normally held on the 3rd Tuesday of the month at the Community Center. For more complete and current information visit the Liverpool Township web site, or call (330) 483-3102.

Oh, and for those of you who are interested: a Township government does not have power to collect personal income tax. That includes Liverpool.
