Pocatello (pronounced Poke-ah-tello ) may be the fifth largest city in Idaho with a population of 54,255 (Census 2010), home to several corporate headquarters, such as Farm Bureau Insurance and Varsity Contractors and home to several multinational companies, like ON Semiconductor, JR Simplot Company, Great Western Malting, Hoku Materials, Heinz Foods and Positron Systems, but we have a distinctly small town atmosphere.

The city of Pocatello is located in southeast Idaho and nestled at 4,448 feet in the western foothills of the Rocky Mountains along the Oregon Trail.
Pocatello has an unusually desirable four-season climate where clear, sunny and dry is the norm. Our 32 parks, Museum of Natural History, Fort Hall Replica, several golf courses, Ross Park Aquatic Complex, Nordic Center cross-country skiing, mountain biking & hiking trails, skate park, and the Pocatello Zoo are just a few of the attractions visitors and residents enjoy.

Our "Proud to Be Pocatello" philosophy is evident everywhere you look. Six active neighborhood associations, a host of volunteer and civic organizations, Idaho State University representatives and committed business leaders are all dedicated to working with local elected officials to make Pocatello an even better place to live and do business. Residents in the U.S. Smile Capital care about each other and our community, and our pride shows!
