Ironwood Charter Township is an active charter township in Gogebic County in the far western Upper Peninsula of Michigan, wrapping around the north and east of the separate City of Ironwood and reaching north to the Lake Superior shoreline. It is a large, rural, sparsely settled township of about 175 square miles; the 2020 Census counted 2,214 residents. Governed by an elected township board (Supervisor Jay Kangas, Clerk Sherry King, Treasurer Maria Graser) from the township hall on Lake Road, it shares the Ironwood Area Schools district and the greater Ironwood-Hurley labor market. Its signature asset is Little Girls Point County Park, a Lake Superior agate-and-cobblestone beach and campground north of Ironwood.
