WELCOME TO IDAHO COUNTY

Idaho County is the biggest County in Idaho, and the fourth largest in the United States. 

It covers 8503 square miles and was established on February 4, 1864 by the first Idaho Territorial Legislature. 

 

The area now comprising Idaho County was part of Oregon Territory from 1848 to 1859. With Oregon statehood, it became a part of Washington Territory, and, in 1863, of Idaho Territory. 

 

The mining town of Florence was named the first County Seat of Idaho County December 20, 1861.  After the decline in population of Florence, Warren became the second County Seat June 1, 1869. 

 

 June 14, 1875 there was a special election, and Mt. Idaho, which started as a way station along the trail to Florence, was elected the third County Seat.  

 

November 4, 1902, Grangeville became the fourth County Seat, and still is today.
