Idaho Falls Idaho Temple

The Idaho Falls Idaho Temple (formerly the Idaho Falls Temple) is the tenth constructed and eighth operating temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Located in the city of Idaho Falls, Idaho it was the first LDS temple built in Idaho, and the first temple built with a modern single-spire design.

The LDS temple in Idaho Falls was announced on March 3, 1937. The exterior of the temple was completed in September 1941 and the interior was expected to be completed the following year. However, with World War II shortages, it delayed the completion of the temple for four more years. In spite of delays, LDS Church President George Albert Smith dedicated the Idaho Falls Temple just one month after the war ended, on September 23, 1945. The temple was built on a convert|7|acre|m2|sing=on plot, has 4 ordinance rooms and 9 sealing rooms, and has a total floor area of convert|92177|sqft|m2.

The name of the temple was changed from the "Idaho Falls Temple" to the "Idaho Falls Idaho Temple" in the early 2000s when the Church introduced standardized naming conventions for temples worldwide.
