Two places on this list straddle county lines. Fostoria’s population figure above is
\ncitywide — most of the city sits in Seneca and Wood counties, with only its
\nnortheastern edge reaching into Washington Township here. Bluffton runs the same way: its
\nHancock County piece is the smaller share, in northwestern Orange Township, while most of the
\nvillage and its population sit in Allen County to the south.<\/p>\n

Townships<\/h2>\n

Hancock County has 17 civil townships. Two, Findlay and Fostoria, hold no unincorporated
\nseat of their own on this list because a city or village anchors most of their population.<\/p>\n
