Cache, Idaho
Cache is an unincorporated community in Teton County, in the U.S. state of Idaho.
History
The community received its name from a cache of furs hidden near the site by French fur traders. 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."
A post office called Cache was established in 1904, and remained in operation until 1916. A variant name was "Dwight".
Cache's population was estimated at 100 in 1909.
