Background
Established January 28, 1913 with its county seat at Rupert. Named directly
for the first settlement, Minidoka, a railroad siding. The name is Indian, but
the exact meaning is in dispute. Some believe that Minidoka means "well,
spring" but there was not a source of water such as a well or spring until
1946. Others say the word is Shoshoni and means "broad expanse," because
the broadest portion of the Snake River Plain lies here.
