History

The LDS Church first came to Idaho in 1855, when Brigham Young sent pioneers to settle the area. Early settlements were in Franklin, Bear Lake Valley, and south-central Idaho. Idaho became a state in 1890, at which time Latter-day Saints comprised one-fifth of the population. Church presidents Harold B. Lee, Ezra Taft Benson, and Howard W. Hunter were all natives of the state.

County statistics List of LDS Church adherents in each county as of 2010 according to the Association of Religion Data Archives: Note: Each county adherent count reflects meetinghouse location of congregation and not location of residence. Census count reflects location of residence, which may skew percent of population where adherents reside in a different county than their congregational meetinghouse.
