It is the county seat and the only city in the county. Emmett is part of the Boise City−Nampa, Idaho Metropolitan Statistical Area.
Rising some 5,906 feet (1,800 m) above sea level, Squaw Butte, named by Native Americans who used this area as their winter resort, stands at the north end of the valley. The Payette River was named after Francois Payette, a fur trader from Quebec who was put in charge of old Fort Boise in 1818 and traveled through the area. Permanent settlement began in the early 1860s, after gold discoveries in the Boise Basin brought people over the established stage and pack train routes. Two of these trails joined at the Payette River north of the present river bridge in Emmett.
In 1883 James Wardwell had the town platted, and in 1900 the town was incorporated as Emmett. Later, in March 1902, the Idaho Northern railroad came to the valley.
After the closing of the mines in 1906, the power lines were extended to Emmett. A series of irrigation projects made it possible for more rapid expansion of the town as the major service center for a farming and fruit-growing valley. In the early 1900s fruit packers adopted the label of "Gem of Plenty" because of the fertility of the valley. During the mining era the valley was known as the "garden" for the mining regions.
Until 2001, the city was home to a Boise Cascade manufacturing facility. The Black Canyon diversion dam on the Payette River, built in the early 1920s, is east of the city.

Saw this in the parking lot at a local super market while I was on vacation. At first I thought it must be a modified golf cart, but actually it's a GEM e2, an all electric vehicle that's "street legal up to 35 mph in most states."

Porto União (SC) e União da Vitória (PR) possuem juntas cerca de 90 mil habitantes. Entre 1912 e 1916, a região foi um dos cenários da Guerra do Contestado. Com o Tratado de Limites, Porto União ficou para Santa Catarina e União da Vitória para o Paraná. A linha férrea, que pertencia a estrada de ferro de São Paulo ao Rio Grande do Sul, delimita as duas cidades e é um dos memoriais da região. Em 1983, as cidades sofreram uma catástrofe com a maior cheia do Rio Iguaçu. Já atualmente, após chuvas regulares, o rio ainda atinge moradores.

Der Gems Brunnen auf dem Gemsberg in Basel. Mit diesem brunnen verbinde ich meine Zeit bei den Wöfli Gemsberg des Rheinbund. Schöner Brunnen den ich hier als HDR präsentiere.
Der Basler Brunnnenfüher sagt:
In Betrieb seit 1861
Bereits im 12. Jahrhundert stand hier ein Sodbrunnen. 1318 musste dieser infolge Wassermangels stillgelegt werden. 1360 wurde ein neuer Brunnen namens "Dürren Sod" errichtet. Dieser wurde 1861 durch den heutigen Gems-Brunnen ersetzt. Der Brunnentrog ist achteckig und mit seinen Massen gehört dieser Brunnen zu den grössten der Stadt. Da die Gasse schon lange "Gembsenberg" hiess, wurde entschieden, dass eine Gemse auf den Brunnenstock muss. Um den Brunnen überhaupt in die Stadt bringen zu können, musste ein Teil der Stadtmauer abgebrochen werden. 24 (!!) Pferde haben gemeinsam den Wagen mit dem Brunnen von Solothurn nach Basel gezogen. Noch heute ist der damalige Tiefganganhänger beim Brunnenbauer Bargetzi in Solothurn als "Zeitzeuge" vorhanden.
Besonderes:Die Gemse, die sich dort oben in der kältesten Zeit des Jahres am wohlsten fühlt, war die erste gusseiserne Brunnenfigur auf einem Basler Brunnen. Das Gusseisen kam danach sehr in Mode, weshalb es in Basel viele Brunnen mit Figuren aus diesem Material gibt.

In operation since 1861
In the 12th Century it was a well which extends. 1318 had This will shut down due to water shortage. 1360, a new fountain called "drought Sod" erected. This in 1861 by its present Gems fountain replaced. The trough is octagonal and with its masses of these wells is one of the most of the city. Since the street for a long time "Gembsenberg" was called, it was decided that a Chamois on the well floor must. The fountain ever brought into the city to be able to had to be a Parts of the walls to be canceled. 24 (!) Horses have shared the car with the fountain of Solothurn moved to Basel. Even today, the former supporters in the draft fountaineers Bargetzi in Solothurn as a "witness" so far. Special features: The chamois, which is up there in the coldest time of year feels most at home, which was first cast-iron fountain sculpture on a Basel Wells. The cast iron was then very fashionable, why it made in Basle many wells with figures this material is.
