==History==
Middleton was named for its location between the old fort Boise and Keeney's Ferry; it being the midpoint between the two. It served as a rest stop for those heading for Keeney's Ferry.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.epodunk.com/cgi-bin/genInfo.php?locIndex=7002|title= Profile for Middleton, Idaho, ID|publisher= ePodunk|accessdate= September 2, 2012|archive-date= February 2, 2013|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20130202025749/http://www.epodunk.com/cgi-bin/genInfo.php?locIndex=7002|url-status= live}}</ref> It had a stage station in the early days of the Oregon Trail, a post office in 1866 and a water powered grist mill in 1871.

Middleton is the oldest settlement in Canyon County, with the land being parceled out in 1863 by William N. Montgomery. The [[Boise River]] flooded in 1872 and cut a new channel, isolating the town on an island; as a result, the town moved to a new location in the years after 1880. The town incorporated as a city in 1910, although the certificate was not issued until 1971.

The current mayor is Jackie Hutchison.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://middleton.id.gov/Government/Elected-Officials |title=Elected Officials |website=middleton.id.gov |access-date=June 2, 2024 |archive-date=June 2, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240602142936/https://middleton.id.gov/Government/Elected-Officials |url-status=live }}</ref>
