Minidoka County, County in Idaho, United States.
Minidoka County spans 763 square miles across southern Idaho, featuring irrigated farmlands in the south and natural lava beds in the northern region.
The county was established on January 28, 1913, through the division of Lincoln County, following the completion of the Minidoka Dam irrigation project in 1904.
The name Minidoka derives from Dakota Sioux language, meaning 'a fountain or spring of water,' first used in 1883 for a Union Pacific railway station.
The county seat operates from Rupert at 715 G Street, where residents can access government services, property tax payments, and administrative support.
During World War II, Camp Rupert within Minidoka County served as a designated prisoner of war facility, marking a significant period in local history.
