The story so far
from Wikipedia & the U.S. CensusMedina Township is located north of Peoria, in Peoria County, Illinois, and in the Illinois River Valley (West of the river itself). As of the 2010 census, its population was 12,564 and it contained 4,993 housing units. Medina Township changed its name from Franklin Township on an unknown date, but most likely in 1850. Headquartered in Mossville, it is served by two school districts: Illinois Valley Central School District #321, and Dunlap School District #323. It also contains the census-designated place of Rome and much of the city of Peoria's Alta neighborhood.
Between the 2010 and 2020 censuses its population grew from 12,564 to 13,976 (+11%). Half of its homes were built before 2000.
