A History of Mintonye

The name Mintonye /Min-tawny/ comes from the Mintonye family, owners of the land where the original Mintonye school once sat. The original Mintonye school was a one room school house east of the current school property.

The Mintonye Cemetary lies near the original school site. The original school operated from 1860-1909. From 1909-1967, there was no Mintonye school. The current Mintonye building was constructed and dedicated in 1967.
