History of Startup
Startup began when a person named F.M. Sparling settled there in the 1880s. This is called "homesteading," where people claimed and settled land.
In 1890, William Wait planned out a new community. He first named it Wallace. But this caused problems because mail kept getting sent to Wallace, Idaho by mistake! So, in 1901, the name was changed to Startup. This new name honored George G. Startup, who was the manager of the Wallace Lumber Company. The town's post office was set up in 1900.
