Thomas Farnham was one of the first to view the beautiful vistas of the area in 1839. But it wasn't until 1866, that real settlement took place. Darwin R. Richards came in 1866 to farm, but soon realized a stagecoach stop was needed. The rest stop was called Richards' STation. After a few years, he laid out a town and named it Bellview. The community changed names several times known, at times, as Mudflats, Middletown, Squawtown and Yellow Dog. In 1871, Thomas J. Kirk purchased adjoining land to Farnhams. In 1878, Kirk officially added his and Richards' blocks of land together to form the town. The official founding is 1878 with incorporation in 1904. Again, name changes were the norm. First called Centerville, it remained such for a number of years. When the town's population grew, a new school was built. The Superintendent, D.W. Jarvis, compared the area to Greece and suggested the name be Athena since there were other Centervilles in the state. The name became official on 16 May 1889.
