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'.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.idahopress.com/cavalcade/the-hazy-history-of-notus/article_c909da58-3f7a-5c32-aab9-2e4ac295baff.html|title=The hazy history of Notus|last=WILEY|first=DANIELLE|work=Idaho Press-Tribune|access-date=2018-04-26|language=en}}</ref>
