History


Donald was founded in 1903.[2] It was named by for Donald Campbell, the son of the president of the Fountain-Campbell Lumber Company, which logged in the area. Before that, the spot was called Fountain Spur, for the other principal of that company.[2] A post office was established at Donald in 1904, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1942.[3]
