Chilly is an unincorporated community in Custer County, Idaho.[1]

History

A post office called Chilly was established in 1902, and remained in operation until 1958.[2] The community was so named on account of the often chilly air at the elevated town site.[3]

Chilly's population was 107 in 1909,[4] and was 92 in 1940.[5]
