Dayton, Idaho
In 1867 Joseph Chadwick and family settled
on Five Mile Creek and built a log cabin. In
one room he had a supply store to accomodate
the few settlers and freighters. He was followed
by Peter Poole, Robert Taylor, Stephen Callan,
George Mendenhall, Richard Wickham and their
families. The locality was originally known as Five
Mile, later Chadville, and in 1890 Card. In 1906
Wm. B. Preston gave it the name of Dayton.
Fred Jenson was the first L.D.S. Presiding
Elder.
