Osage County Missouri Townships

In Missouri a township used to be recognized as a political sub-division of the state. Missouri townships were responsible for road construction and maintenance, property assessment, tax collection, and elections. Missouri townships were eventually absorbed into the counties. The boundaries of a township are still used, but not for business management. In Osage, for the 6 townships, each one gets 2 members for the political committees, one man and one woman. That gives the county 12 committee members in Osage.
