History

The town of Caldwell was platted in 1882 by Robert Strahorn, railroad promoter and business associate of Alexander Caldwell, the town namesake. The North Caldwell Historic District is part of the original townsite. [1] [3] Strahorn's wife, Carrie Adell Strahorn, helped to establish the Presbyterian church in Caldwell in 1890 and the College of Idaho in 1891. Among the six properties in the district inventory are the church building (1890) and parsonage (1897). The inventory also contains the home of William Judson Boone (1890), original pastor of the church and first president of the College of Idaho. [4]
