LANGOLA Township, organized July 12, 1858, has a unique name, unknown elsewhere, proposed by its petitioners for organization. The village Langola, in section 11, had a post office, which had been established in 1854 as Royalton in Morrison County and was transferred to Langola; it operated 1857-78, at which time the name was changed back to Royalton, and returned to Morrison County.
