Blaine County is a county located in the state of Idaho. As of 2000, the population is 18,991. The county seat is Hailey6.

Blaine County was created by the Idaho Legislature on March 5, 1895 by combining Alturas and Logan Counties. Its present boundaries were set on February 8, 1919 when a western portion became Camas County.

Blaine County is named for James G. Blaine, the 1884 Republican presidential nominee, which is somewhat ironic in that during both the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections, Blaine County was actually the only county in Idaho to have a Democratic majority instead of a Republican majority.[1] (http://www.usatoday.com/news/politicselections/vote2004/countymap.htm)
