William N. Montgomery in 1863 parceled out the land. Prosperity was brought to the town in 1871 when a flour mill was built. The town was isolated by a flooding of the Boise River in 1872, the flood cut a new channel and the town moved to a new location after 1880. The town incorporated as a city in 1910 (although the certificate wasn't issued until 1971.) The present mayor is Frank McKeever. On Februrary 1, 2007, part of Middleton High School burned down, which firefighters believe that the blaze broke out in the boiler room. The 42-year old building was not equipped with sprinklers to prevent the fire. | |||
