Custer County, Idaho, USGenWeb Project

Welcome to
Custer County, Idaho

Cemeteries		Custer county was formed from Alturas and Lemhi counties January 8, 1881. Alturas county was created February 4, 1864 and abolished in 1895. County records for Alturas county are located in Blaine county. The county was named for the General Custer mine, which honored the ill-fated cavalry officer General George Custer who died at the Battle of Little Bighorn. Its history began with fur traders and pathfinders as early as 1824; later in the 1860s and 1870s prospectors and miners came. It contains portions of the Sawtooth, Salmon River, White Cloud, Pioneer, Lost River, and White Knob Mountains and contains the highest peaks in the state.
