The following listing of the Minor Civil Divisions (also known as "County Subdivisions") included in each Congressional District of which the so-called DIVIDED COUNTIES are a part most often contains references to Townships, but occasionally will refer to Cities and Villages as well. There are two types of Municipality in Ohio: the City (with a population over 5,000) and the Village (with a population under 5,000): a City or Village usually remains administratively and governmentally part of its parent Township- in which case, such City or Village is a further subdivision of the Township and, thus, not a Minor Civil Division/County Subdivision of the first order like the Township itself; however- primarily in the more urbanized areas of the state- a City or Village or a combination of Cities and/or Villages may have completely obliterated its/their parent Township or nearly so- wholly or partially supplanting it- and, thus, may themselves have become Minor Civil Divisions/County Subdivisions of the first order in the State of Ohio equivalent to Townships in other parts of the same county as well as elsewhere in the state.

As a general rule, this listing of Minor Civil Divisions/County Subdivisions for most of the so-called DIVIDED COUNTIES in Ohio will usually only list the Townships in a given congressional district; however, in some counties, a listing of the Cities and Villages in a congressional district- especially where they exist in lieu of Townships- will be necessary:
