History behind Kuna, as Ten Mile Community and the historic Pioneer Cemetery that is located on Stagecoach Lane.

In 1881, when the Oregon Short Line Railway Company started building its line westward across Idaho, it bypassed Boise City due to the uneven terrain, and instead established a construction and materials camp at Fifteen Mile House station to sustain the building of rail tracks.

Ten Mile Community grew from the 1863 Gold Rush period of the Owyhee Mountains, that included Silver City. A stagecoach stop was established there for a rest stop, hot meals, and watering hole for horses. When the train line was operational, people and supplies were often transported to Boise via the stagecoach, which helped the community grow.

The line became operational in September of 1882 or 1883, a small train station was placed at Ten Mile Community point and called "Kuna." Ten Mile settlement grew up around both the depot with their stagecoach station, and flourished. During the years 1883 to 1887, supplies for Boise City, Idaho City, Placerville, Centerville, and Silver City were transported by freight wagon from the railroad depot at Kuna. Hauling goods and passengers to Boise became an important local industry. The early town consisted of at least three warehouses, a depot, and a post office, which was established in 1884.

Unfortunately, the early settlement of Kuna was short. After the branch line from Nampa to Boise was completed in 1887, the need for a depot at Kuna was over. The settlement closed down and Kuna became just another railroad siding. Years after the original settlement, all that remains is a signboard with the name Kuna and a graveyard containing the victims of the diphtheria epidemic, now known as "Kuna Pioneer Cemetery". Some history refers to possibly 30 burials at this cemetery, but more recent findings suggest 12 persons, mostly children, were found at the location. Recently, after a local incident involving a truck damaged the cemetery, name plaques, new fencing, signs, and repairs were made to maintain the tiny cemetery.

The cemetery is located near the original route of the Silver Trail along Stagecoach Road, just south of the train tracks and Indian Creek. Pioneer Cemetery honors the early pioneers who settled the region.
