The township, however, does not include the parts of the city of Chicago (namely, zip code 60655, which is mostly the Mount Greenwood neighborhood) that lie within these boundaries.

The south edge of the city of Chicago is within this township geographically but is a separate entity, with exception of two cemeteries and a golf course.

Trinity Christian College is located in Worth Township, in Palos Heights.

In 2002, Lawrence Hupe, the Worth Township school treasurer, retired with one of the largest government pensions in Illinois after receiving annual bonuses exceeding 25% of his salary in the last five years of his 25-year service.

His employer, the Worth Township Board of School Trustees, reported to the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund that Hupe took home an extra $302,000 above his salary between 1998 and 2002.

Hupe claimed that the additional payments were in lieu of unused annual leave.
