Why Rigby
Rigby is the county seat of Jefferson County, in the Upper Snake River Valley north of Idaho Falls. It was founded in 1884, incorporated in 1903, and had 5,038 residents in 2020, up from 3,945 in 2010 (2020 Census, via Wikipedia).
Rigby calls itself the Birthplace of Television because inventor Philo T. Farnsworth grew up on a farm here (City of Rigby). Many locals commute to Idaho Falls or Rexburg.
