Monclova Township is an unincorporated township located near the banks of the Maumee River, south of Toledo, in northwest Ohio. The name is derived from the Native American word meaning “one of a clan” according to Anna Gunn, a teacher at Monclova School in the early 1900s.

Monclova Township was established on March 14, 1853, when Waynesfield Township was split into two smaller townships, Monclova and Springfield. Attractive housing, excellent schools, and a growing economic base make Monclova Township the choice for many growing families and businesses.
