Crouch was named for Billy Crouch who was a homesteading miner near the Payette Rivers. He donated property during the 1920’s for a hall in Garden Valley. Crouch received its own post office in 1934. In 1933, an army came to town, Roosevelt’s Tree Army. Thousands participated in the Civilian Conservation Corps from all over the country swamping the local Garden Valley post office with letters for the boys. In 1934, a new post office opened for Crouch to help the mail come closer to the CCC troops. The area’s economy was helped by the workers during this depression era.
