History

The settlement began as a waystation on the road to the forests at Bovill, Idaho. Owned by two African-Americans, Joe and Lou Wells, the waystation location was first called “Spud Hill”, and then “Anderson”.

The settlement was renamed “Deary” when the railroad was extended to that point. The town was founded in 1907, and named for William Deary, a businessperson in the lumber industry. A post office has been in operation at Deary since 1907.
