The name of the community was changed from Chinatown to Dayton in 1861. The town was named for its surveyor, John Day.

The county seat was in Dayton until 1908 when the courthouse burned down. The county seat was then moved to Yerrington. Because of the move, Dayton began to shrink. The economy of the area was quite dependent on the county business. Dayton didn't stay down, though. It has bounced back to a thriving community of over 8,500 residents.
