A useless factoid or two about the state of Idaho:

  • Idaho produces 72 different kinds of gemstones and precious metals.
  • The high-jumping technique known as the Fosbury Flop (used universally today) was invented by Ketchum, ID resident Dick Fosbury.
  • Idaho's state seal is the only one designed by a woman - Mrs. Emma Edwards Green, in 1890.
  • Idaho is 83,557 square miles, the 13th largest state in the U.
