The first town of Dutton was founded in 1888 and was named in honor of Marion M. Dutton, the first postmaster of the town. The first post office was located in Mr. Dutton's store. However, Joseph Smalley was a postmaster in 1890 at what was then Index (present Pleasant View community). He was succeeded as postmaster there by Andrew J. Allen, followed by Asberry O. Wright. Mail service of Index as a post office was discontinued in 1905 when the mail was sent to Henagar, Alabama.

The Town of Dutton was incorporated in 1963. The first Town Hall and Fire Department building was purchased from the Church of the Nazarene in 1965.
