Parts of the former village of Amelia (dissolved in 2019) are located in the southwest.

American Modern Insurance Group, Inc. and Milacron are based in the township.

The township was home to Ford Motor Company's Batavia Transmission plant until it closed in 2009 under a corporate plan called "The Way Forward".

It also anchored an industrial area that also includes rollercoaster manufacturer Clermont Steel Fabricators.

The township is governed by a three-member board of trustees, who are elected in November of odd-numbered years to a four-year term beginning on the following January 1.
