Armada Township is located in north-central Macomb County. It borders St.Clair County to the north, Thirty-two Mile Road on the south, and Bruce and Richmond Townships to the west and east respectfully.

Organized in 1832 the Township developed as an agricultural area due to fertile soils. Today, the area has retained this rural character with a 2010 population of 3,591 residents primarily residing in single-family homes on large lots. Less than fifteen percent of the Township's land is utilized for residential dwellings while over seventy-three percent is devoted to agriculture or remains vacant.
