The story

from WikipediaRead it all ↗

Twenty two persons submitted a petition for the incorporation of Township 147 Range 61 on August 13, 1900, and the County Commission ordered an election to be held on September 4, 1900, to elect officers. Ole Bakken suggested the township be named after William Jennings Bryan.
