The story

from WikipediaRead it all ↗

Middleton was named for its location midway between Old Fort Boise and Keeney’s Ferry, serving as a resting point for travelers en route to the ferry. In its early years along the Oregon Trail, it had a stage station, a post office established in 1866, and a water-powered grist mill built in 1871. The Ward Massacre occurred near the area in 1854.
