NOTE: Cedar Township in Callaway County no longer contains the town of Cedar City (now incorporated into Jefferson City) since boundary changes creating Summit Township from its former southern sector sometime between 1883[3] and 1897 [1]. This has caused some confusion in historical, geographic, and genealogical research—see "History" section below.
Cedar Township is today one of eighteen townships in Callaway County, Missouri, USA. As of the 2010 census, its population was 2,937.[4]
