History

A post office called Manton has been in operation since 1889. According to tradition, the town derives its name from “Man’s Town” because a large share of the first settlers were males.

In August 2005, the town was overrun by a forest fire which destroyed several homes and forced the evacuation of the entire town. There were no injuries.
