Some, if not most, townships don’t encompass anything other than their own area, I.e. there’s not necessarily a borough or city inside a township, although I can see where that would make logical sense.
In Lancaster County, Lancaster Township surrounds Lancaster City on most sides but the two have no governmental connection to one another. Lancaster City School District, however, serves residents of both.
Also in Lancaster County, Manheim Borough and Manheim Township are several miles apart and share only a name.
And then somewhere in all of this we have villages and other unincorporated areas that are nothing more than place names even though they have road signs indicating where they are. Several famous people come from the village of Neffsville, for example, like golfer Jim Furyk, actor Taylor Kinney, and Jeopardy champion Brad Rutter. But there really is no Neffsville except as an area on a map.

Yes, that’s Neffsville.
