History
In 1903, three brothers—E. J. Horton, Sam M. Horton, and J. C. Horton—settled in the area and started a sawmill they named Horton Mill.[2] When the post office was established in 1913 it was named after the family.[2] Sam Horton was the first postmaster; the office closed in 1960.[2]
Horton's economy was based on the lumber and dairy industries.[2] In 1915 Horton had a public school, two churches and two fraternal lodges.[3]
