Chaffee is an unincorporated community in Cass County, North Dakota, United States. [1]
A post office was established at Chaffee in 1894, and remained in operation until 1966. [2] The community, named for promoter Eben Chaffee, was platted in 1898 soon after the railroad was extended to that point. [3]
Herbert Fuller Chaffee (Eben's son) was a first-class passenger aboard the RMS Titanic, with his wife Carrie Constance Toogood (1864-1931). She survived, but his body was never recovered. [4]
