 Menan, near the foot of South Menan Butte |
Menan was founded in 1879 as the first Mormon settlement in the Snake River Valley. This is prime potato-growing area. Menan sits near the foot of South Menan Butte, one of the ancient volcanoes in the Snake River Valley that helped to make this countryside such a great potato-growing area. Just the other side of South Menan Butte is North Menan Butte, a designated National Natural Landmark maintained by the Bureau of Land Management. |
