Cache is an unincorporated community in Teton County, in the U.S. state of Idaho.^[1]

History

The community received its name from a cache of furs hidden near the site by French fur traders.^[2] An alternate explanation is that it was named Cache because of "the fact that most of the settlers migrated to this spot from Cache Valley, Utah."^[3]

A post office called Cache was established in 1904, and remained in operation until 1916.^[4] A variant name was "Dwight".^[1]

Cache's population was estimated at 100 in 1909.^[5]
