At the same date of Reseburg's creation, Worden was also formed. The first town meeting was held at the Gorman schoolhouse. Ole Samulson was the first town chairman elected in the township. The township was named for Zephaniah Worden, an old resident and Civil War veteran who fought with Pennsylvania's 45th Regiment, Company F. Mr. Worden was born in New York and resided in what was then Thorp Township in 1880.
