Most of the original Harrison Township area has been incorporated into the city of Dayton, the county seat of Montgomery County. Three unincorporated areas occupy most of the unincorporated parts of the township:
Shiloh, a census-designated place occupying all of the western "island" around N. Main St. except for Fort McKinley and a small section in the northeast
Northridge, a former census-designated place occupying all of the central "island" along N. Dixie Drive from Stop Eight Road to the north, and Embury Park Road, and Great Miami River to the south.
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.
Police services are provided in the township through a contract with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office.[citation needed]
