Located in central Michigan between the communities of St. Johns and Fowler, we are a rural township comprised mostly of farmland. Major crops include corn, soybeans, wheat, and mint (Clinton County is the third largest mint-producer in the United States). Several family-owned dairy farms and commercial enterprises have made their home in Bengal Township.

The township hall is located at 6586 West M-21. The 2010 structure hosts elections and monthly board meetings. The meeting room along with the kitchen are available to rent.
