Dog Creek (later Renata) began when Sandy Gaston, a prospector, built a three story hotel there in the early 1890's. In 1897 Gaston sold the hotel and acreage to Fred Nash who started clearing land in preparation for a large orchard. Further up the lake on the west side, cleared land carried out by the Jordan brothers and others revealed that the little town of Killarney (later Edgewood) was becoming a settlement. Just above this area and on the east side, the Funk brothers were cutting trees to also make way for the planting of an orchard.

Still heavily forested, the east shore from where three creeks joined to enter the lake, revealed some buildings that were indicated to be parts of Caribou City. Just north of this was a bigger clearing.
There were surveyed lots laid out here defining a modern town complete with acreage designated for the building of a smelter. This project was the result of Arthur Burton and his brothers combining to start the town of Burton.
