Riggins is a city in the western United States in Idaho County, Idaho. Nestled deep in a canyon at the confluence of the Salmon and Little Salmon rivers in west central Idaho, it is approximately 150 highway miles (240 km) north of Boise, and 120 highway miles (190 km) south-southeast of Lewiston. The elevation is 1,821 feet (555 m) above sea level, and its population was 419 at the 2010 census.

U.S. Route 95, the only highway for the state connecting the Panhandle to the south, runs through Riggins as Main Street. Along this route, Riggins is the most northwestern town in the Mountain time zone; Pacific time begins just north of the city, across the Salmon River.[5][6]

History

Riggins was named for Richard L. Riggins, local businessman and postmaster,[7] and for his father, Fred Riggins, who carried the mail to the area for years.

A sawmill was formerly operated in Riggins, until an explosion and fire in 1982.[8][9]

Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 0.45 square miles (1.17 km2), of which, 0.43 square miles (1.11 km2) is land and 0.02 square miles (0.05 km2) is water.[10]

Climate

According to the Köppen climate classification system, Riggins qualifies as having a humid subtropical climate (Köppen Cfa), a climate type quite atypical for the region. However, due to cold winter months, Riggins's climate nearly qualifies as a dry, hot summer humid continental climate (Köppen Dsa).
