In August 1903, a group of men from Salt Lake City, led by Joseph F. Smith, formed the Sugar City Townsite Company with the intention to build a $750,000 sugar beet factory.

Calaway Ranch is located in Sugar City, Madison County, just north of Rexburg Idaho.

City of Sugar City, Idaho

Nestled in a peaceful farming community, Sugar City is a small but growing municipality with a high quality of life. The town of 1,500 boasts tranquil neighborhoods, fine schools, dependable services, and low taxes, making it a haven for families.

Complementing this idyllic setting are shopping centers 10 minutes away in Rexburg, home of Brigham Young University-Idaho, and scenic attractions including Yellowstone National Park and Jackson, Wyoming, within easy driving distance.

Sugar City´s vision is to maintain a small-town, family-oriented atmosphere, but the city also desires balanced growth. Residential neighborhoods are expanding, and business development opportunities are emerging.

Come and experience Sugar City's rich and satisfying lifestyle.

Sugar City was founded in 1903 to house the employees of a new sugar beet factory in southeast Idaho. The town served these workers and other residents until the factory closed in 1942, when the pace of the town slowed.

Gradually, Sugar City became a bedroom community to Rexburg, three miles to the south. It also supported the area's thriving agricultural industry, which centers around Idaho's potato products.

The town continues as a residential community today, although its neighborhoods are growing and businesses are expanding. The population of 1,500 is poised to grow steadily.

With the transition of Ricks College to Brigham Young University-Idaho and the construction of an LDS Temple in Rexburg, and with accelerating growth throughout eastern Idaho, Sugar City is well-positioned to continue its development. The city will be a key player in the region's future.

Landscape / Terrain / Environment

The landscape around Sugar City is best described as flat brown agricultural land which has been farmed for decades, primarily for potatoes. This part of Idaho is essentially high desert which meets the mountains further to the east at the Teton Range. The area is heavily reliant upon irrigation from the Snake River to support existing agriculture. Holding and controlling Water Shares are an essential part of life in south eastern Idaho.
