The city of Ririe earned it’s name from one if the first residents, David Ririe. David Ririe came to Idaho from Utah in 1888. As more people (mostly farmers) moved in, the common need for schools and other services helped the community grow and establish. The city of Ririe was officially established in 1914. That year the railroad was routed through the city and Ririe was given its name by railroad officials.

Culture of Ririe

Ririe and the area surrounding are mostly dependent on a farming economy. The major crops grown in the area are wheat, barley, alfalfa, and potatoes. Many community residents either farm their own land or work in some aspect of farm support, including supplying farm equipment, coordinating crop buyers, etc. In addition to those who farm, many residents work at the Idaho National Laboratory (a.k.a. “the Site”), a regional division of the Department of Energy that focuses on nuclear energy and security technology.
