History
Originally named Tolt after the river of the same name that flows through the town. Tolt became incorporated in 1912 shortly after the arrival of the Milwaukee Railroad. The town was renamed in 1917 after the Carnation Farms, which operated a dairy farm in the area. As one of the most productive agricultural regions in the Northwest, farming remains central to the town’s identity today.
