Located in the central part of the county, it borders the following townships:
Part of the city of Medina, the county seat of Medina County, is located in northwestern Montville Township.

The land was purchased by General Arisarchus Champion in 1818. He named it after the town in Vermont where he had lived.
The township was established in 1820, less than two years after the first settlers arrived.[4]
The township is governed by a three-member board of trustees, who are elected in November of odd-numbered years to a four-year term beginning on the following January 1. Two are elected in the year after the presidential election and one is elected in the year before it. There is also an elected township fiscal officer,[5] who serves a four-year term beginning on April 1 of the year after the election, which is held in November of the year before the presidential election. Vacancies in the fiscal officership or on the board of trustees are filled by the remaining trustees. As of 2012, Ronald Bischof, Jeff Bradon, and Sally Albrecht are members of the board of trustees with Bischof serving as chairman and Brandon serving as vice chairman.[6]
Police, fire, and LST personnel operate out of the Ron F. Bischof Safety Services building, which opened in 2011.[7] Other township business operates out of the Montville Administration Building.[7]
