In September, 1795, Joseph Howland, a descendant of John Howland who came to America aboard the Mayflower in 1620, bought a Northwest Territory tract of land in the Western Reserve which became Howland Township four in Range three of Trumbull County. Captain John Adgate, Howland's first settler, arrived in 1799 and built the Township's first cabin in the southwestern part of the Township. Ohio became a state on March 1, 1803 and Howland or "The High Land" officially became an Ohio Township in 1812.
Howland Township is located in NE Ohio in Trumbull County and is part of the Youngstown-Warren Metropolitan Area. With a population of 17,546 residents, Howland Township ranks as the 22nd largest of Ohio's 1,312 Townships. Howland Township boasts excellent housing, thriving commercial centers, and a strong industrial base (including WCI Steel and Packard Electric Division of Delphi Automotive Systems).
