Rexburg, Idaho
Rexburg is home to Brigham Young University-Idaho, a private institution operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The University began as a small high school-level academy on a site known as Mosquito Bend in 1888. It was later named Ricks Academy and eventually was established as Ricks College, in honor of Mormon pioneer and city founder, Thomas Edwin Ricks. At one time, Ricks College was the largest private junior college in the United States; it became a four-year college in 2000. The city takes its name from Ricks, and was initially known as Ricksburg.
Upon its dedication in February 2008, the Rexburg Idaho Temple made Rexburg the third city in Idaho with an LDS temple.
