History
The first settlers, Jame H. Murray and William Lobdell, arrived in 1836. A post office, “Booton”, was opened on November 1, 1837, with Murray as the first postmaster. The post office was renamed “Argentine” on March 30, 1942, due to a similarly named post office. The community was platted by Dr. Isaac Wixom in 1844.
