A nice little bit of WP:SYNTH going on here, as the cite for the origin of the name (which has the wrong page number, BTW) doesn't mention this town, and Baker gives a completely different origin story for the township name and says this place was named after it. Anyway, we have another "no there there" issue. I'm not confident that this was a town per se. Mangoe (talk) 22:13, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Delete Local papers are clear this is a township, the post office in the Forte source is probably named for the township. People went through Forte creating or citing articles for towns based on a naive understanding of old post offices.James.folsom (talk) 23:45, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
