THE FRAME, AS OF NOVEMBER 11, 2026
Walkerton governs itself from a single building: the Municipal Building at 301 Michigan Street, which holds the town council's chamber, the clerk-treasurer's office, and the Walkerton Town Court, with the police department entered from Illinois Street. The town is an incorporated Indiana town in Lincoln Township, St. Joseph County, ZIP 46574; the 2020 census counted 2,096 people. Under Indiana Code 36-5-2 the elected town council is the town's legislative body and its president, chosen by the body from its own members, is the town executive; Walkerton's council has five members, elected both by ward and at large, and it meets on the second and fourth Mondays of each month at 7:00 p.m. at 301 Michigan Street. The elected clerk-treasurer keeps the town's records and its money. Around that core stand the layers this section prints at their proper sizes. Lincoln Township, the civil township that contains the town, carries its own trustee and board, printed at pointer size in the closing entry — the township shares the town's fire protection through the fire territory of 2010, told in the fire entry. St. Joseph County carries the higher courts, the sheriff, and the county seats in which Walkerton votes, printed at pointer size with Walkerton's own representation seats whole; the county's whole course belongs to the sister builds in the county sequence. The schools belong to the John Glenn School Corporation, whose course is the Schools section's.
