Build in RirieTalk to AndreaGet to know Ririe
Ririe was settled in 1888 and named for early homesteader David Ririe. It's one of only three Idaho cities that sit in two counties, Bonneville and Jefferson. The town itself is small and close-knit, surrounded by farmland, foothills and some of the best outdoor recreation in East Idaho. Ririe has its own small school district, so students get a true small-school experience.
