In 2015, roughly half the community became included in the newly incorporated village of [[Windsor, Wisconsin|Windsor]], giving that part of the community the status of a neighborhood within the village. By the year 2036, the remainder of Token Creek is slated to be annexed primarily by the city of [[Sun Prairie, Wisconsin|Sun Prairie]] with the city of [[Madison, Wisconsin|Madison]] also annexing the western and southwestern portions of the community. This will cause the community to be fully incorporated, albeit split among three municipalities. [[Wisconsin Highway 19]] crosses east to west through the community. Some areas previously defined as a part of Token Creek have also been annexed by the village of [[DeForest, Wisconsin|DeForest]].
Token Creek is named after a creek which runs into a pond in the community. Token Creek also borders the county run Token Creek Natural Resource Area and Token Creek County Park. While Token Creek originally developed as a small rural unincorporated community, growth in Dane County has changed the character of the area to more suburban serving as a [[bedroom community]] with many residents commuting to Madison or employment centers in DeForest and Sun Prairie.
