General Information

Eaton Township is located in north central Ohio, 15 miles south of Lake Erie, and approximately 25 minutes from downtown Cleveland.  The township is located in Lorain County with Columbia Township to the east, Carlisle Township to the west, and Grafton Township to the south.  The cities of Elyria and North Ridgeville are to the north.

Eaton Township is an unincorporated area of Lorain County consisting of about 23.3 square miles with 25.30 miles of road.   Eaton Township is in a transitional stage of switching from a farm-based community to a residential large home site suburban community.  Eaton Township has easy accessibility via state Routes 10, 57, 82, 83, 301 and Interstates 71 and 480; to the cultural centers of nearby Cleveland, Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, and some of the world’s most prestigious hospitals.  Three malls are within fifteen minutes of Eaton Township: Westfield Mall in Elyria, Great Northern Mall, and South Park Mall.  The surrounding state routes also makes Eaton Township an attractive area for potential Commercial and Light Industrial Development.

Although there are no local taxes paid by Eaton Township residents, there is a 2.5 mill assessment for homeowners for fire protection and EMS services approved by voters as outside millage.
