WELCOME TO IDAHO COUNTY |
|
*It
is often said that Idaho County is not only the largest (in area) in the state,
but also fourth largest in the nation. Now Idaho County IS large: at 8502 square
miles, it is roughly the size of New Jersey. (Yet it has only one intersection
with a traffic light!) *Contributed
by: Bill Salmon 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. |
