The story

from WikipediaRead it all ↗

Bogard Township was organized on 9 May 1820. Among its earliest settlers was North Carolina native Elias Myers, who arrived in 1816 and purchased 320 acres (130 ha) of land in the following year. Its namesake was a W. Bogard, who was a victim of an attack by Indians.

The McCall Family Farmstead was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.
