Roth, North Dakota
Roth is an unincorporated rural hamlet in Bottineau County in the U.S. state of North Dakota. It is located roughly to the west of Souris. There are less than half a dozen houses at Roth along a loop road, and no businesses or services. History Roth was first founded in 1904 as Faldet (or Faldot) as a station on the Great Northern Railway and renamed Roth in 1905 after Martin Rothe, a railroad official. It was originally intended to be named Carbury, which is a town roughly to the east. However, due to a mix up by railroad officials or the Secretary of State, depending on who tells the story, the townsite names were accidentally switched when the wrong signs were posted. The mistake was never corrected. Roth's post office was established on May 22, 1907, this time with the name Hewitt. The name was corrected to Roth in 1908 when the new postmaster John W. Reep noticed the mistake. The post office closed on August 14, 1964, with the mail service now included in the zip cod ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Census Tract
A census tract, census area, census district or meshblock is a geographic region defined for the purpose of taking a census. Sometimes these coincide with the limits of cities, towns or other administrative areas and several tracts commonly exist within a county.

Census tracts represent the smallest territorial entity for which population data are available in many countries. In the United States, census tracts are subdivided into block groups and census blocks. In Canada, they are divided into dissemination areas. In the U.S., census tracts are "designed to be relatively homogeneous units with respect to population characteristics, economic status, and living conditions" and "average about 4,000 inhabitants".

Approximately in length, it drains about in Canada and the United States. Rising in southern Saskatchewan in the Yellow Grass Marshes north of Weyburn, the river wanders southeast into the U.S. through North Dakota beyond Minot to its most southern point at Velva, and then back north into Canada in southwestern Manitoba.
