Settled in 1885 by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Ammon is a fast-growing suburb with easy access to urban amenities. The city’s population is around 19,600, which is 10% higher than the 2020 population of 17,720. “We’re a fast-developing region,” says Tyler Draney, director of the city’s parks and recreation department. “It’s a small town that's getting bigger, but everybody knows their neighbors. We have a great volunteer force in our community.” Latter-day Saints settlers established a church here in 1889, and the city’s name became Ammon after the son of King Mosiah in Book of Mormon. Today, historical markers and at least ten LDS churches carry out this legacy. Ammon is the 15th largest city in Idaho, and according to the Idaho Department of Labor, people in Bonneville County most likely work in Idaho Falls or Ammon. The region’s top employers include the Bonneville Joint School District, Melaleuca and the Idaho National Laboratory.

Sledding at Peterson Park
Ammon operates 13 parks. The largest is Woodland Hills Park, which spans about 23 acres, including a nine-hole disc golf course and several baseball fields. “Our most popular park is McCowin Park. It has the most amenities, like the city pool and tennis courts. It’s one of the oldest in the city,” Draney says. The city has 4.5 miles of asphalt trails, and kids enjoy Peterson Park for its playground and winter activities. “It has got three hills, and kids like to sled there,” Draney says. Kelly Canyon Resort is a nearby spot for skiing, with several slopes for all levels. Ammon is within driving distance of several national parks. Grand Teton National Park is 93 miles away in Wyoming; visitors can go hiking, biking, fishing or connect with wildlife. Yellowstone National Park, famous for camping, thermal basins and skiing, is 150 miles away.

Hot air balloons fly at Ammon Days
Every summer, the city hosts Ammon Days a community festival with food trucks and over 150 vendors sell their products. “Friday is when the hot air balloons happen; it’s one of those spectacular events,” Draney says. Summers are the most active time for community gatherings, including triathlons and movies at McCowin Park. In the wintertime, Santa visits Ammon during the city’s Holiday Lightapalooza.
Divided between two school districts
