1952. In 1967, the City of Newdale purchased the Newdale School house and property, which was no longer in use, and turned it into a city park over the next few years. It was also at this time that the streets of Newdale were officially named (from West to East): R.R. Street (Railroad), Main Street, Church Street, Park Street, and Schwendiman Park Road. A swimming pool was built in Newdale with a new well to supply the water. The pool failed shortly after opening, due to lack of patronage. Newdale wells produce warm water. Newdale is the nearest city to the Teton Dam, which failed on June 5, 1976. Newdale did not receive any flooding or damage, due to its elevation and position relative to the dam. Memories "I remember riding in the old Nash truck to deliver grain to the Farmer's Warehouse where Walter's potato business is now located. My Uncle Leigh Martineau drove the truck which was an army surplus truck from World War I. It traveled so slow that they would trail a wagon behind it loaded with wheat, about one hundred sacks on the truck and trailer. He would wait in a long time to get unloaded." - J. Leigh Chantrill, story took place approximately 1918 - 1922. "In the prohibition days when it was illegal to sell liquors in any form, the following took place in Newdale: Two young men from Newdale, Lee Clark and Delray Huff, went to work for the government as informants, or stool pigeons as they were called. They would buy liquor from the bootleggers, then they would report the bootleggers to the government law enforcement officers. Lee Clark and Delray Huff worked for the government and turned in a Mr. McCarrel and his fellow bootlegger a Mr. Fox. Fox and McCarrel came up to Newdale one night to shoot Lee Clark and Delray Huff. Gerald Clark, who was Lee Clark's brother, got involved in the plot and was shot and killed just south of the Newdale store, by Fox and McCarrel. It was a sad time for the people of Newdale, because Mr. Gerald Clark had a family. After a long trial in the St. Anthony Court House, Mr. McCarrel and Mr. Fox were sent to the State Penitentiary. The headstone at the grave of Gerold Clark, in the Teton-Newdale Cemetery shows that he died in 1930." - Author Unknown,
