The settlement was originally named Springdale for a nearby spring, but its name was changed to Jonathan in 1918 to avoid conflicting with an existing Springdale when a post office was created. The Northern Pacific Railway constructed a siding through Jonathan in 1919 and named it Buena (Spanish for "good") with an Anglicized pronunciation.
