Cache is an unincorporated community in Teton County, in the U.S. state of Idaho. [1]

History

The community received its name from a cache of furs hidden near the site by French fur traders. [2] An alternate explanation is that it was named Cache because of "the fact that most of the settlers migrated to this spot from Cache Valley, Utah." [3]

A post office called Cache was established in 1904, and remained in operation until 1916. [4] A variant name was "Dwight". [1]

Cache's population was estimated at 100 in 1909. [5]
