Wilton Township is located about 40 miles south of Chicago, in Will County, Illinois. Wilton is predominantly agricultural; it has no municipality within its borders.
The Wilton Township government consists of elected Township Supervisor, Township Clerk, Board of Trustees, and the Highway Commissioner.

Community Building Managers are also elected to operate and maintain the township's community building.
Wilton Township also has an appointed Planning Commission. The Planning Commission is charged with monitoring the township's comprehensive land use plan and making recommendations to the Township Trustees in regard to zoning applications or other land use issues in the township.
