Township 4 is a township in Rooks County, Kansas, United States.
Rooks County was established with four townships: Bow Creek, Lowell, Paradise and Stockton. That number increased to seven by 1878[2] and twenty three in 1925. The twenty three townships were in place until 1971 when the number was reduced to the current twelve townships.[3]
Township 4 was formed by renaming Hobart Township[4] in 1971.[5] While other Rooks County townships were combined pursuant to Kansas Statute 80-1110,[6] Hobart was just renamed using the new naming standard.
Box Elder Creek flows through Township 4 where it feeds Rooks State Fishing Lake (aka Lake Stockton).
Hobart Township was established in 1879 from part of the original Stockton Township. Hobart was named for Hobart, IN.[7]
Rooks County Regional Airport is located in Township 4.
