Blackfoot, Idaho, serves as the county seat of Bingham County and proudly bears the title of the “Potato Capital of the World,” a nod to its significant role in potato cultivation and research. This distinction is celebrated annually at the Eastern Idaho State Fair, drawing visitors from across the region.
