Raber is an unincorporated community on Raber Bay in the St. Mary's River. It is approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) north-northeast of Goetzville. The first white settler is considered to be John Stevenson from Scotland, who emigrated here in 1878. It was named for Mueller M. Raber, a pioneer lumberman in the area. A post office operated from September 1889 until December 1954.
Stalwart is an unincorporated community in the township on M-48 approximately 8 miles (13 km) west-northwest of Goetzville. Stalwart is an acceptable name for the Goetzville ZIP code. Stalwart was first settled in 1878. An application was submitted in 1881 for a post office to be named "Garfield", after U.S. President James A. Garfield, but the name was already in use at the time by another post office. The application was resubmitted for a post office named "Arthur", after Chester A. Arthur, and was denied for the same reason. Because Garfield and Arthur represented what was known as the Stalwart (politics) faction of the Republican Party, the application was made for the post office to be named "Stalwart". The office was established in February 1881.
