AI Summary
- Originally named Lane 12, the road in Canyon County was renamed after Laura Lamb, who was known for her fried chicken, apple pie, and hot rolls
- In 1930, Laura Lamb invited Governor C. Ben Ross to dinner and complained about poor road conditions; the Governor promised to have it oiled if she could get it graded and graveled
- After Mrs. Lamb convinced Canyon County commissioners to improve the road and reminded the Governor of his promise, the road was oiled the next day and painted with "Lamb's Chicken Dinner Avenue" in yellow letters
- School children chanting "chicken dinner, chicken dinner!" on their way to school caused the shortened name "Chicken Dinner Road" to stick
- The Idaho Legislature affirms that Chicken Dinner Road has important historical value and should officially retain the name "Chicken Dinner Road" in perpetuity
