History
The present day location of the City of Notus is located along Highway 20/26.
in 1874, the Lower Boise Post Office was established on the homestead of C.L.F Peterson. The inclusion of the Lower Boise Post Office is considered to be the primary reason for the present location of Notus. According to an Idaho Press Tribune article from 1986, Notus got its name from the daughter of a local railroad official. The daughter reportedly thought “notus” was of Native American origin and meant “it’s all right.” The town of Notus was almost known as ‘Lemp’.
In 1926, the Notus secondary school was founded. In 2017, the old building was demolished.
