I am not a lawyer, do not read WI Law Books, nor wish
to get into any debates on semantics.
Having been born and raised in Wisconsin, I was taught
about towns and townships in my History Classes...
Plat maps (which refer to land or sections) have the
county divided into Townships (Towns if you prefer).
They are still refered to as the Town of ________ but
when talking about the geographically boundries they
are called Townships... Perhaps we are all
semantically wrong, but that is how we do it...
See the book Wisconsin: Its Counties, Townships, and
Villages...
I am mailing this to the other county coordinators -
perhaps they have some more insight ....

You refer to townships in error. According to
Wisconsin law a township is a measurement of land.
Years ago Wisconsin called the small governmental
units Towns. Take a look at the Wisconsin Law books
and you will have a hard time finding the term
township.
Thank you,
