Westfield Township, founded in 1817, is a rural,
agricultural community that still enjoys the open space and
beauty of rolling farm lands and residential properties that
offer room for growing families or mini farms. While maintaining
our rural character, Westfield Township is served by two major
highways I71 and SR224/I76 making it a major transportation
hub in northeast Ohio; located 40 minutes south of Cleveland
or 30 minutes west of Akron. Westfield Township is in the
Cloverleaf
school district which has an excellent state rating and
the townships’ “Cloverleaf pride” is abundant.
The
area is served by three hospitals; Medina Community Hospital,
Wadsworth/Rittman Hospital, and Lodi Community Hospital, which
is also a Life Flight base. Our fire department and E.M.S. services
are a joint commitment of the Village of Westfield Center and
Westfield Township. This volunteer department, with a fulltime
fire chief, is well equipped and serves our residents well.
In
accordance to the Ohio Revised Code, the residents of Westfield,
in 1956, enacted a zoning resolution which has been changed or
up dated several times since to better serve the needs of the
area and protect property owners. The three elected Township Trustees
and one Township Clerk are empowered to appoint committees, perform
services, and administrative duties of the township. To that,
we hope that you find this web site to be helpful and informative.
