Elmore County, located in the southwestern part of the great state of Idaho, was officially established on February 7, 1889. Named after the Ida Elmore mines, the county has played a significant role in Idaho's history. The county seat, Mountain Home, initially served as a stagecoach stop in the 1880s and has since developed into a thriving city due to the establishment of Mountain Home Air Force Base.

The Oregon Trail, an important migration route in the 19th century, passed through the northern part of Elmore County. Many pioneers traveled along this route in search of fertile land and new opportunities in the western United States.
