Chilly is an unincorporated community in Custer County, Idaho.

History

A post office called Chilly was established in 1902, and remained in operation until 1958. [2] The community was so named on account of the often chilly air at the elevated town site. [3]

Chilly's population was 107 in 1909, [4] and was 92 in 1940. [5]
