Welcome to Payette County Idaho


This website is part of the Genealogy Trails family and our goal is to help you track your ancestors through time by transcribing genealogical and historical data and placing it online for the free use of all researchers.


Website updated with new data February 2, 2009

I need your help! Please consider sharing your time and/or your own source material. I will be adding information when I can but I do not live in Idaho or have any connection to it. Also, consider becoming a host! It is a lot of fun and very rewarding to find that you are helping people find their own families.

Our goal is to offer as much information online as possible and to update often. I hope that we can make this a community effort so that the researchers of Idaho have access to a valuable resource.

This county is available for adoption, if that sounds like fun please click here to learn more about becoming a host.

If you have any comments, questions or contributions please contact me, Shauna Williams.

Established February 28, 1917, with its county seat at Payette. Payette was originally settled as a railroad camp in the 1860s and called Boomerang for the log boom on the Payette River. The site, and the community which grew around it, was later named in honor of the area's first white settler, Francois Payette, a Canadian fur trapper and explorer with the North West Company who arrived in 1818.
