Blaine County was created on March 5, 1895 from the original county of Alturas, which no longer exists. The county was named after James G. Blaine, a former U.S. Secretary of State (1889-1892), who served under President Benjamin Harrison.
The area was explored in 1818 by Donald MacKenzie, it wasn't until sixty-one years later that it received its first permanent settlers. Today, Blaine County is consists of the small communities of Bellevue, Carey, Gannett, Hailey, Ketchum, Picabo, and Sun Valley.
The county seat of Blaine County is Hailey.
