Alturas County was a county in Idaho Territory and later the state of Idaho from 1864 to 1895. It covered an area larger than the states of Maryland, New Jersey, and Delaware combined. Most present-day southern Idaho counties were created at least in part from the original Alturas County area. The name Alturas comes from a Spanish word for "mountain summits" or "mountainous heights." Alturas County was created by the Idaho Territorial Legislature in February 1864. Later that year the mining camp of Rocky Bar was designated the county seat. The county seat was moved to Hailey in 1882.

  • Alturas County was a county in Idaho Territory and later the state of Idaho from 1864 to 1895. It covered an area larger than the states of Maryland, New Jersey, and Delaware combined. Most present-day southern Idaho counties were created at least in part from the original Alturas County area.

Later that year the mining camp of Rocky Bar was designated the county seat. The county seat was moved to Hailey in 1882. In 1889, the Idaho Territorial Legislature created Elmore County and Logan County from parts of Alturas County. On March 5, 1895, to circumvent a recent state supreme court decision striking down an earlier county reorganization, the Idaho Legislature combined Alturas and Logan Counties into a new county called Blaine. Two weeks later on March 18, the southern portion of the newly created Blaine County was split off to form Lincoln County with its county seat at Shoshone. Hailey remained the county seat of what was now Blaine County, and Alturas County disappeared from the Idaho map. (en)
  • Der Alturas-County war ein US-amerikanisches County im Idaho-Territorium und späteren US-Bundesstaat Idaho von 1864 bis 1895.

Der größte Teil der heutigen Countys im südlichen Idaho setzen sich zumindest teilweise aus dem ursprünglichen Alturas County zusammen. Der Name Alturas stammt vom spanischen Wort für „Berggipfel“ oder „gebirgige Höhen“. Alturas County wurde vom Territoriums-Parlament von Idaho im Februar 1864 gegründet. Noch im selben Jahr wurde das Bergarbeiterlager zum Verwaltungssitz (County Seat) des County gemacht. 1882 wurde Hailey Verwaltungssitz. 1889 schuf das Territoriums-Parlament von Idaho aus Teilen des Alturas County das Elmore County und das nicht mehr existente Logan County. Am 5. März 1895 schließlich vereinigte das Territoriums-Parlament die Countys Alturas und Logan zum neuen Blaine County. Zwei Wochen später, am 18. März, wurde aus dem südlichen Teil des Blaine County das neue Lincoln County mit seinem Verwaltungssitz Shoshone geschaffen. Hailey blieb der Verwaltungssitz des Blaine County während der Alturas County von der Karte Idahos verschwand. (de)
