Worth Township is one of 29 townships in Cook County, Illinois. As of the 2020 census, its population was 152,934,[2] with its most populous municipalities including Oak Lawn (pop. 58,362),[3] Evergreen Park (19,943),[4] Alsip (pop. 19,063),[5] and Chicago Ridge (pop. 14,433).[6] It was founded in 1849, when the county voted to subdivide itself into townships.

The township hall is located at 11601 S. Pulaski Road in Alsip.

Near its southern boundary, the township is crossed by the Cal-Sag Channel.

Record pension

In 2002, Lawrence Hupe, the Worth Township school treasurer, retired with one of the largest government pensions in Illinois after receiving annual bonuses exceeding 25% of his salary in the last five years of his 25-year service. At $153,835, Hupe's pension exceeded the state governor's salary. His employer, the Worth Township Board of School Trustees, reported to the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund that Hupe took home an extra $302,000 above his salary between 1998 and 2002. Hupe claimed that the additional payments were in lieu of unused annual leave. Hupe's successor was paid a salary of $87,500, just 57% of Hupe's pension.[15]
