The City of Emmett
Emmett is a smaller city with only 6,516 people, according to the 2012 estimate. That is an 18.7% increase since 2000. Encompassing 2.8 square miles, Emmett is a growing community, with most of the population living in urban neighborhoods.
With a compelling history, Emmett, Idaho has become the county seat of Gem County. The story of Emmett begins with two men by the names of Nathaniel Martin and Jonathan Smith. After permanent settlements were built around the Payette River due to gold discoveries, the need arose for a quicker, more efficient way to travel to and from these establishments.
Two of the main traveling trails came together at the Payette River, and this is where Martin and Smith started a ferry port to cross the river. Because the river swelled almost a mile each spring, the ferry provided a safer and faster journey for travelers. The ferry site became a central location for local trade and travel from the Basin Trail; the community that grew around the ferry was named Martinsville.
A few miles from Martinsville was a small mining and agricultural community with a main post office for surrounding settlements. Named after the son of an immigrant, the post office was titled Emmettsville. Changing locations multiple times, Emmettsville Post Office finally was permanently established in Martinsville. The name was adapted to the town, changing the name from Martinsville to Emmettsville. Eventually, to avoid confusion with Emmettsville, Iowa, the Emmettsville simply became Emmett.
The history of Emmett is important to the city and can be seen in the community. For example, the Martin house, home of one of the original founders of Emmett, is still standing as the oldest standing house, from 1878. Another piece of history can be seen in the Emmett public park; in 1864, Doc Burdge opened the first store and grist mill in Gem County. Today, the original grinding stones from the mill is on display.
