History

Bone was founded by Orion Yost Bone, who opened the first Bone Store in the early 1900s. The original store burned down in 1945 and was rebuilt by Max Rockwood (long time Bone resident and rancher) and relocated approximately 150 yds to the north.{{cite web|last=Arrin Newton|first=Brunson|title=Idaho store frozen in time|url=http://archive.sltrib.com/story.php?ref=/utah/ci_2499287|publisher=Salt Lake Tribune|accessdate=3 July 2017|date=December 28, 2004}} Bone was the last community in Idaho to receive telephone service, which it did not get until 1982.
