Talk:Boardman Township, Ohio

Untitled
Boardman's status as an urban township should supercede its status as a Census-designated place [CDP] in the article. Rationale: Because urban townships are defined by the Ohio Revised Code as a unit of local government, and CDP's lack any such official definition by the State of Ohio, the designation "urban township" is more substantial than the CDP designation. -SwissCelt 17:19, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

Article in need of a real clean-up
There are some massive problems with this article, I think, and though I have tried to make it more neutral, and removed some of the blatently POV descriptors, I still think that this article is due for a rewrite. I admit to being a little at a loss with what to write, but large sections of the article are vague and unecessary. I'll probably keep working on this, but anyone who knows more about Boardman--or lives there--might be better at it than me, since I haven't been editing long. --XkarlmagneX 05:04, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

Youngstown & Poland
In many Ohio villages and cities, when land is annexed in neighboring townships, that land ceases to be a part of the township as it becomes a part of the annexing municipality. In other cases, the township and municipality have concurrent jurisdiction. In still other cases (Windham and Ravenna come to mind) no explicit act was made to transfer land away from the township's jurisdiction until it was so ordered by state officials. What is the status of the land annexed to Youngstown and Poland from Boardman Township? It's a minor point, to be sure, but it does affect the wording of the article. Thanks. -- JeffBillman (talk) 03:44, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Merge – I support the merger. As someone from Boardman, I can verify that there is no cultural distinction between the CDP and the township. Also, if the Census Bureau is making the CDP consistent with the township boundaries, I see no reason for it to have a separate article. YoungstownToast (talk) 22:41, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
