Eaton Township is a largely agricultural and suburban township in central Lorain County, with a 2024 estimated population of approximately 9,300. Situated between Grafton and Lagrange, Eaton Township serves as a transitional community between Lorain County's more urbanized northern tier and the rural farmlands of its interior. The township encompasses portions of the scenic Black River watershed, offering residents access to fishing, canoeing, and natural beauty. The community is served by the Keystone Local School District — known for its athletic and academic accomplishments and a strong rural community identity — and by the Elyria Municipal Court for legal services. Agricultural operations, including grain farming and produce operations, remain a significant part of the township's economy alongside newer residential subdivisions serving families who work in Elyria and the greater Cleveland metro area.
