BONNEVILLE COUNTY
State : Idaho
Origin/meaning
Bonneville County was established from part of Bingham County on the eastern border of Idaho in 1911 and named after explorer Benjamin Bonneville.
The sun coming over the mountains has reference to the Native American word Idaho, interpreted as meaning "sun coming up over the mountains."
The river represents the Snake River, the lifeblood of Bonneville County and Eastern Idaho. The river exits the county about midway on its northern border, turns and re-enters to the west and flows southwest through Idaho Falls.
The horn of plenty at the bottom represents the abundant crops raised in our county.
