2 unusual facts about Idaho Legislature


Idaho Legislature

Ada County, the state's largest by population, currently has eight legislative districts within its boundaries.

The 2008 and 2009 sessions of the Idaho Legislature met in converted courtrooms in the old Ada County Courthouse.


College of Southern Idaho

Although proposals for a junior college in southern Idaho were made as early as 1952 and courses were offered at the short-lived Southern Idaho College in Buhl in the early 1960s, it wasn't until the Idaho Legislature passed and Gov. Robert E. Smylie signed the Junior College Act in 1963 that the foundation of what became the College of Southern Idaho began in earnest.
