Middleton is a city in Canyon County, Idaho, United States. The population was 5,524 at the 2010 census, up from 2,978 in 2000.〔(Spokesman-Review ) - 2010 census - Middleton, Idaho - accessed 2011-12-14〕 It is part of the Boise City–Nampa, Idaho Metropolitan Statistical Area. ==History== Middleton was named for its location between the old fort Boise and Keeney's Ferry; it being the midpoint between the two. It served as a rest stop for those heading for Keeney's Ferry.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Profile for Middleton, Idaho, ID )〕 It had a stage station in the early days of the Oregon Trail, a post office in 1866 and a water powered gist mill in 1871. The Ward Massacre occurred near the site in 1854.〔 * 〕 Middleton is the oldest settlement in Canyon County, with the land being parceled out in 1863 by William N. Montgomery. 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,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Middleton, Idaho )〕 although the certificate was not issued until 1971. The present mayor is Darin Taylor.〔(middleton.id.gov ) - Mayor - Vicki Thurber - accessed 2011-12-14〕 On February 1, 2007, 78% of Middleton High School burned down, caused by the overheating of a fan above the weight room. The 42-year-old building was built when fire codes required sprinklers to be installed, but there was no provision for their functionality. To save money during the construction of the school in the 1960s, the sprinklers were installed but were never connected to a water source. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Middleton, Idaho」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
