Welcome to Booker ...Although we found mention of Booker during our research, we have little information about it.<1> Given the context of how Booker was mentioned, we believe that it was a community rather than a locale or some type of landmark. We have done a cursory search and if it was a community, we haven't been able to find any evidence that it still exists.. We've added Booker to our Gazetteer with the hope that we can develop more information. If you can help us with Booker, please Contact Us. The location of Booker has been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (ie- the GNIS).<2> While we don't have a date for the founding of Booker, you might get a feel for it by knowing that during our research the earliest mention that we found (so far) was in a book dated 1895. Booker is 660 feet [201 m] above sea level.<3>.
