Alameda was a city in the western United States, located in Bannock County, Idaho.
New commercial and residential development in Alameda occurred in part as a result of its proximity to Pocatello and to a greater degree its location on the Yellowstone Highway (later U.S. Route 91), one of Idaho's first designated highways.
In just under forty years of history, the village became Idaho's eleventh most populous city.
It was consolidated with Pocatello in 1962,[1][2] with the support of its mayor, George Hansen, who later served seven terms as a congressman.
Another nearby city, Chubbuck, opposed a similar merger and remained a separate municipality.
