History

The township is named after Edna Booth, daughter of Albert Anson Booth (1850 – 1914), a pioneer who settled in Barnes County in 1879.[6] Booth established a rural post office out of his home on July 25, 1882.[7] He originally planned to name it after his daughter, who was the first white child born in the township, but instead named it Booth. Service was discontinued on November 14, 1884. However, the township retains the name.[6][8]

The Booth post office was located approximately 1 mile from the present city of Rogers (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.).[9]
