Malad City Real Estate... Browse by Zip - 83252
Malad City, commonly called Malad, is the county seat of Oneida County. In fact, it is the only city in this far southeastern Idaho county, situated but thirteen miles from the Utah border to the south. The town, founded in 1864, is named after the nearby Malad River. Sometime between 1818 and 1821, a a group of fur trappers got sick, and died while camping along the river. Thinking that the water was contaminated, the river was called Malade, the french word for sick. As it turned out, the water was not to blame, but rather the beavers that the hungry group consumed. Apparently, the beavers gnawed on the roots of a particular tree in the area, thereby ingesting arsenic. It was arsenic that killed the trappers, not the river. The name Malad stuck nonetheless and is now a prime spot for Idaho real estate for those looking for a little more privacy.
