ANSWERS: 1

Middleton is the oldest settlement in Canyon County, with the land being parceled out in 1863 by William N. Montgomery. A flour mill built in 1871 brought prosperity to the town. The Boise River flooded in 1872 and cut a new channel, isolating the town on an island; as a result, the town moved to a new location in the years after 1880. The town incorporated as a city in 1910 (although the certificate wasn't issued until 1971.) The present mayor is (as of late 2006): 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. Local fire agencies and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms are investigating the cause of the firehttp://www.fox12news.com/Global/story.asp?S Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middleton%2C_Idaho
