Origin Notes and History of Gilmore
References to Gilmore that document the origin of its place name
GILMORE, Lemhi County.—Named for John T., familiarly called "Jack Gilmer," of the Gilmer and Salisbury Stage Company, who was a pioneer in the stage coach business in the West. He commenced staging in 1859, under Russell and Waddell, the first stage coach men of the West, continuing to work for Ben Holliday, who bought out that firm in 1861, who in turn sold to Wells, Fargo and Company in 1866, which latter company afterwards sold to Gilmer and Saulisbury. A clerk in the postofiice department in Washington copied the name wrong when the postoffice at Gilmore was established in 1903.
