Rigby, Idaho is a small city located in Jefferson County, Idaho, with a population of almost 5,000 people. The city has a rich history that dates back to the early 19th century, and it has played a significant role in the development of the state of Idaho.
The first European explorers to visit the area were members of the Lewis and Clark expedition, who passed through in 1805. However, it was not until the construction of the Oregon Trail in the 1840s that permanent settlements began to be established in the region.
One of the first settlers in Rigby was a man named William T. Rigby, who arrived in the area in 1884 and established a ranch. The city was named after him, and it quickly grew in size and importance as more and more people moved to the area to take advantage of the fertile land and abundant natural resources.
In the early 20th century, Rigby became known for its agricultural production, particularly its production of alfalfa and grain. The city was also home to several large dairy farms, which helped to fuel the local economy. Potatoes are another major crop.
During World War II, Rigby played a vital role in the war effort, as it was home to several military training facilities. After the war, the city continued to grow and prosper, and it became a popular place for people to live and work. Rigby is, however, mostly a commuter town with homes and neighborhoods spread out over a large area, making it feel as though there are few people living ther.
In the 1960s and 1970s, Rigby underwent a period of rapid growth and development, as new businesses and industries moved into the area. This included the construction of a number of large manufacturing plants, which helped to create jobs and stimulate the local economy.
Today, Rigby is a thriving community that is known for its strong sense of community and its friendly, welcoming atmosphere. It is a great place to live, work, and raise a family, and it has a bright future ahead of it.
