Blaine County is a county located in the U.S. state of Idaho. As of the 2010 census, the population was 21,376.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/16/16013.html )〕 The county seat and largest city is Hailey.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2011-06-07 )〕 Blaine County was created by the state legislature on March 5, 1895, by combining Alturas and Logan counties.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Blaine County )〕 Its present boundaries were set on February 8, 1917, when a western portion became Camas County. The county is named after former congressman and 1884 Republican presidential nominee James G. Blaine (1830–93).〔 Blaine County is included in the Hailey, ID Micropolitan Statistical Area. It is home to the Sun Valley ski resort, adjacent to Ketchum. ==History== The Wood River Valley in present-day Blaine County was organized as part of Alturas County by the Idaho Territorial Legislature in 1864.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Alturas County, Idaho Genealogy and History )〕 By the 1880s the area became noted for its mining economy. In 1882 the county seat of Alturas County was moved from Rocky Bar in present-day Elmore County to Hailey, in response to a population shift from Rocky Bar – which would eventually become a ghost town – to the Wood River Valley. After Idaho statehood in 1890, as in the rest of the state, mining gradually decreased in significance in Blaine County. At its creation in March 1895, Blaine County included five other present-day counties. Less than two weeks later, Lincoln County was carved from it and later partitioned into Gooding (1913), Minidoka (1913), and Jerome (1919) counties. Blaine County was further reduced in 1917 when Camas County was formed. The county began to recast itself as a tourism destination in 1936 with the opening of the Sun Valley resort, originally owned by the Union Pacific Railroad. The area soon attracted celebrity visitors, and later residents, most notably Ernest Hemingway, who is buried in the Ketchum Cemetery.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hemingway Haunts )〕 Celebrities who have lived either full-time or part-time in Blaine County include Adam West, Demi Moore,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Demi Moore Biography )〕 and John Kerry.〔(Ghostly secret haunts Kerry's Idaho idyll )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Blaine County, Idaho」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
