Clark County

Clark County is a county in eastern Idaho, encompassing a rural area with Dubois as its administrative seat and main town. The region consists of dispersed communities connected by roads that wind through forested and open landscapes.

The county was established on February 1, 1919, and named after William Clark of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. This founding created an administrative framework for the growing rural settlement of the time.

The Eighth Judicial District Court in Clark County maintains comprehensive records and provides essential legal services to all local residents.

The county seat in Dubois provides access to basic administrative services and local amenities for visitors and residents. Being a rural area, travelers should plan ahead as services and facilities are more spread out than in urban regions.

The county administration includes specialized divisions for animal protection, code enforcement, and intergovernmental relations to maintain community standards.
