Wooster Township is one of four original townships of Wayne County, Ohio as defined on 11 April 1812.[1]

The boundaries were as follows: Starting at the center of range 14, at the corners of sections 3, 4, 9, and 10 in township 18, head north to the county's northern boundry, then turn east to the range line between ranges 12 and 13. Next, go south on that line to the corners of sections 1, 6, 12, and 7 in township 14 in range 13 and township 15 in range 12. Finally, go back to the starting point.[2]

It was named after General David Wooster.[3]
