Bingham County

Idaho is known for potatoes—and potatoes are famous in Bingham County! This is where you’ll find the Idaho Potato Museum, home to the world’s largest baked potato and potato chip. But this rich agricultural area is attracting new residents for so many reasons besides the spud; a diverse and growing economy, excellent schools, varied outdoor recreational opportunities, affordable housing, and acreage properties. If you’re looking for an easy going lifestyle within driving distance of some of the West’s most stunning natural wonders (Yellowstone and Teton National Parks, plus Craters of the Moon), Bingham County is for you! You’ll also find well maintained community parks in Shelley, Rose, Springfield and Aberdeen—as well as a Butterfly Haven and historical museums in Blackfoot, Idaho, the county seat. Affordable housing, a slower pace of life, and friendly neighbors are all reasons Bingham County is growing.
