Aline, Idaho

Aline was the first settlement of Latter-day Saints in what is today Teton County, Idaho.[1] It was formed in 1888 and the Aline ward became known as the Pratt ward, named after its first bishop, a son of Parley P. Pratt.[2] However, by 1901 it was overshadowed as the main town by Driggs, Idaho and virtually ceased to exist.
