Blackfoot Idaho

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. Founded in 1885 and incorporated in 1907, Blackfoot’s name has variously been attributed to the Blackfoot River and the Blackfoot tribe, though the tribe historically resided primarily in Montana. The city’s geographic location along the Snake River Plain has been instrumental in its development as an agricultural hub.
