地理
[編輯]Located in the northeastern part of the county, the township has been reduced by municipal annexations to three large "islands" and many small ones. They have the following borders:
- The small islands are surrounded by Columbus
- The southwestern large island borders Minerva Park to the north and west, and Columbus to the east and south
- The central large island borders Westerville to the north, and Columbus to the east, south, and west
- The northern large island borders Harlem Township, Delaware County to the north, Plain Township to the east, Columbus to the south, Westerville to the west, and Genoa Township, Delaware County to the northwest.
Much of what was once Blendon Township has since been annexed by certain municipalities:
- The city of Columbus, the county seat of Franklin County, in the south
- The village of Minerva Park, in the southwest
- The city of Westerville, in the northwest
Part of western Blendon Township is occupied by the census-designated place of Huber Ridge.
