History

When the Central Pacific started running past this site in 1869, a branch line station with telegraph was established. In 1875, a post office was established for nearby ranches and farms. The community was named after a pioneer citizen.^[4][5]

As ranching and mining activity increased in the area the town grew in size. The Western Pacific began running through Deeth in 1910. At the time, the community had mercantile stores, a Mormon chapel, livery stables, hotels, saloons, a blacksmith and a population of approximately 250. Many dairies and farms were in the county and this town served as a depot to ship cattle and a trading center for local ranchers and ranchers from nearby counties.^[5]

In 1915, a fire destroyed most of the town. The post office has been in operation at Deeth since 1875.^[6][7] Little remains of the original community.^[8]
