Pocatello is the county seat for Bannock County, but does actually have part of its confines located in the nearby Fort Hall Indian Reservation of its neighboring Power County. This alludes in part to the rich history of Native American culture that was here before the first settlers. Pocatello and its adjoining areas are hotspots for Native American history, being based in what was the Shoshone region. The name ‘Pocatello’ actually comes from a Native American Chief of the same name. In modern US culture, Pocatello is the home of Idaho State University, and the manufacturing facility of ON Semiconductor. As a result the city is regarded as twentieth in Forbes list of Best Small Places For Business and Careers. The Portneuf River also runs through this city, and Portneuf Valley accessible through Pocatello is an area of natural beauty that has over 15 miles of trails to explore with many more to come in the future.
