Minidoka County, Idaho
.Minidoka County, located in the south-central part of Idaho, was established on January 28, 1913. It was named after the Dakota Sioux word "minidoka," meaning "a fountain or spring of water." The county has its origins from the earlier counties of Lincoln, which was established in 1895, and later Cassia County, which was formed in 1879.
The region's history dates back even further with the presence of Native American tribes, such as Shoshone and Bannock, who inhabited the area long before European settlers arrived. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the region witnessed an influx of settlers due to the construction of the Minidoka Dam, which was completed in 1904. The dam, built on the Snake River, formed Lake Walcott and facilitated the irrigation of arid lands for agricultural purposes. This development attracted farmers seeking new opportunities, leading to an uptick in population and the creation of new towns, such as Rupert and Heyburn.
A fun fact about Minidoka County is that it houses a National Historic Site, the Minidoka War Relocation Center. This site, also known as "Hunt Camp," was one of ten internment camps established for Japanese Americans during World War II. Between 1942 and 1945, around 13,000 Japanese Americans were incarcerated at this site, making it an essential part of the United States' complicated wartime history. Today, the Minidoka National Historic Site serves as a reminder of this dark period and as a location for historical education and reflection.
