Roth is an unincorporated rural hamlet in Bottineau County in the U.S. state of North Dakota.

[3] It was originally intended to be named Carbury, which is a town roughly 12 miles (19 km) to the east.

However, due to a mix up by railroad officials or the Secretary of State, depending on who tells the story, the townsite names were accidentally switched when the wrong signs were posted.

The post office closed on August 14, 1964, with the mail service now included in the zip code of 58783 which is based at Souris.

[7] As an unincorporated community, the United States Census Bureau does not track separate population numbers for Roth.
