A family-oriented community--home to Andrews Univ., the BC Youth Fair, and 9000+ amazing residents. Aphra Behn in 1688.

Oronoko Township was organized on March 11, 1837 and became a Charter Township in 1988. Some believe that the township was named after Oronoko, an Indian Chief known by the Governor, George Mason. Others believe that the township was named after the heroine in the novel “Oronoko, OR, The Royal Slave: A True History”, published by Mrs. The seat of Berrien County government was moved to Berrien Springs, the heart of Oronoko Charter Township, that same year of 1837. Oronoko Charter Township is home to the Berrien County Youth Fair, the largest youth fair in the Midwest. Its conservative character, close proximity to steelhead fishing and recreational activities, the parks and campgrounds, and the Berrien Springs Public Schools make this township an ideal place for families with young children. The excellent fire and police departments provide protection and service to the community. During the past two centuries, Oronoko Charter Township has been essentially a rural farming community. In 1901, it became the home of Emmanuel Missionary College, a Seventh-day Adventist institution. This institution, renamed “Andrews University”, has added cultural diversity to the community.
