History

Datto was established as a railroad stop along the Cotton Belt Railroad in 1900. Members of the Day family, namely Isaac and his sons, Charles and Delmer, provided land for the new city. The city requested the name "Dayton," but after this was rejected by the U.S. Postal Service, the name "Datto" was chosen. Datto was incorporated in 1905.[4]
