Rexburg: BYU-Idaho and the Upper Snake River Valley
Rexburg sits in the upper Snake River Plain at an elevation of nearly 5,000 feet. The city was settled by members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the 1880s and retains a strong religious character. BYU-Idaho, a private university owned by the church, enrolls over 20,000 students and dominates the city's economy and culture.
The Teton Dam collapse of June 5, 1976, sent a wall of water through the valley and devastated Rexburg. Eleven people died and thousands of homes were damaged or destroyed. The city rebuilt, and the population today is approximately 27,600.
Rexburg serves as a gateway to Yellowstone National Park, located about 90 miles to the northeast. The Teton Scenic Byway passes through the area. Winter temperatures frequently drop below zero, and the growing season is among the shortest in Idaho.
The local economy beyond the university depends on agriculture, particularly potato and grain farming, along with small manufacturing and retail serving the student population.
