In the USA a Township was defined as a survey of the public land within the United States, a division of territory that is six miles square, containing 36 sections, each a mile to a side. The sizes have varied over time as communities have been created in townships making them smaller in size.

In Canada and Australia it is one of the subdivisions of a county and can be variable in size. Many are much bigger than thirty-six square miles and served by a central business hub or town.
