Part of the city of Fremont, the county seat of Sandusky County, is located in northern Ballville Township, as well as the census-designated place of Ballville.
The Sandusky River runs through Ballville Township prior to Fremont on its way to Lake Erie to the north.
Ballville Township was established in 1822 after a petition was submitted to the Sandusky County Commissioners to be set apart as a new township. Prior to the petition the township was part of the Sandusky Township.[4] It was named for Colonel James V. Ball, a military leader in the War of 1812.[5]
It is the only Ballville Township statewide.
