About this city
Also known as: America's Family Community
Rexburg is a historic, prominent college city located in Madison County, Idaho, beautifully set upon a volcanic plateau within the upper reaches of the fertile Snake River Valley. Founded in 1883 by pioneering Mormon settlers, the city's modern identity is entirely shaped by Brigham Young University-Idaho, which drives its massive young population. Rexburg blends a conservative, highly family-oriented small-town civic vibe with its status as an elite geographical basecamp for backcountry volcanic desert and mountain expeditions.
