Teton County is a county located in the U.S. state of Idaho. Established in 1915, it was named after the Teton Mountains to the east. The county had a population of 10,170 at the 2010 Census, up from 5,999 in 2000. The county seat is Driggs, formerly the county's largest city, recently overtaken by Victor.
Teton County is part of the Jackson, WY-ID Micropolitan Statistical Area.
The Teton Valley was discovered by John Colter in 1808, a member of the Lewis and Clark Expedition (1804–06). It became known as Pierre's Hole, and it hosted the well-attended 1832 Rendezvous, which was followed by the Battle of Pierre's Hole.
