Welcome to
SHAFER
TOWNSHIP
Hello Everyone,
Well, summer sure seems to be flying by! I hope everyone had a great 4th of July Holiday. We have had several High School graduation celebrations at the Shafer townhall. Congratulations to all of the graduates as they navigate this next exciting chapter of their lives. Not much new to report at the township. Routine maintenance, culvert repair and some ditch work.
We hope you are having a great summer; and as always, if you have any concerns please let us know. ​

About Shafer township
Shafer Township is located in southeast Chisago County, bordered to the east by the city of Taylors Falls and the St. Croix River, which is the Minnesota–Wisconsin border. The city of Shafer is in the southwest part of the township but an administratively separate entity. The unincorporated community of Palmdale is in the north.
U.S. Highway 8 follows most of the southern boundary of the township, turning northeast to travel to Taylors Falls, then across the river to St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin, and leading west to Lindstrom and Chisago City. State Highway 95 (MN 95) crosses the north part of the township, passing through Palmdale and leading southeast to Taylors Falls and northwest to North Branch.
