| Originally named “Texas Siding,” this community was established in 1887. The expansion of the railroad line across the South Fork of the Snake River and into Madison County was a turning point in the town’s history. Equipped with a reliable transportation source, the town grew and it became an important freight stop. When the town acquired a post office in 1904, the community name was changed to Thornton in honor of the first postmaster. |
