History

Rooks County was established with four townships: Bow Creek, Lowell, Paradise and Stockton. That number increased to seven by 1878 [2] and twenty three in 1925. The twenty three townships were in place until 1971 when the number was reduced to the current twelve townships. [3]

Township 4 was formed by renaming Hobart Township [4] in 1971. [5] While other Rooks County townships were combined pursuant to Kansas Statute 80-1110, [6] Hobart was just renamed using the new naming standard.
