The district was created in 1919 after Idaho had been represented by a single statewide seat since achieving statehood in 1890. Its establishment reflected the state's population growth during the early 1900s.
The district represents a population of over one million residents across urban and rural communities, with strong connections to agriculture and natural resource industries.
