Fremont County, the 18th county formed in the state of Idaho, was established on March 4, 1893, with its county seat at St. Anthony. It was named for John C. Fremont, an explorer known as the "Pathfinder," who passed through the area in 1843. The first settlement in the county was Egin Bench in 1879.

What To See And Do:
The Big Falls Inn is on Mesa Falls Scenic By-way, approximately 30 miles north of St. Anthony. It was built to capitalize on the tourist traffic around Yellowstone National Park, sometime between 1907 and 1912. The rustic inn is a two-story log structure with a veranda, supported by pillars that run the length of the building. It is currently being renovated jointly by the property owner, the Targhee National Forest, and the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation. The Idaho Heritage Trust is providing assistance to help renovate this example of rustic architecture, which has been closed since the 1930s.
