History
Bertha is likely named in honor of the daughter of the post master. A post office operated under the name Bertha from 1891 to 1904.
Bertha Pig Roast
Bertha is also the site of an annual food, music, and entertainment festival known as the "Bertha Pig Roast." Held each March, the event began as a small cookout in 1996, but it has grown into a weekend-long extravaganza featuring the local food, music, art, and history of the Bertha community.
