Bristol Township is the smallest township in Kendall County, Illinois.

It is located at 41.672412 N, -88.429435 W. It has 74.027 square kilometers (28.5822 square miles) of land and 1.16 square kilometers (0.448746 square miles) covered by water. Its population in the 2000 Census was 7,677. It has 2,807 housing units.

U.S. Route 34 runs east to west through the township. Yorkville covers much of the township.

Bristol Township is named after the Bristol family. Although pioneer miller John Schneider was really the first settler in the township, the Bristols were better known. Lyman Bristol donated the site of the Village of Bristol, now the north side of the City of Yorkville. Today's village of Bristol was first known as Bristol Station, and was a stop on the railroad that passed Yorkville and the old village of Bristol to the north. Bristol is the county's smallest township, losing substantial area to both Kendall and Oswego townships because of the meander of the Fox River. The township was also known for its many swamps.

Government

The township is governed by an elected Town Board of a Supervisor and four Trustees. The Township also has an elected Assessor, Clerk, and Highway Commissioner.
