IT'S A FACT
Kevin Koenning answered correctly with .. A. H. POTH. It's as well a fact that on August 26, 1901, a letter from Washington, D.C., was delivered to Arnold H. Poth announcing a post office would be established. The town site had been named "Poth, after the newcomer, Arnold Poth" appointing him the first postmaster. This day held a number of firsts for the town of Poth. The first baby, a boy named Jacob, was born to Arnold and Lena Poth. Poth also got its first telephone that same day.
