Review & FAQ:

The city of Pocatello is named in remembrance and in honor of Chief Pocatello, a leader of the Northern Shoshone tribe from the Great Basin. He played a pivotal role in the survival of his tribe during the 1800s. The chief is memorialized by a beautiful statue that is located at the city’s visitor’s center, ready to greet visitors to Pocatello from near and far.

This eye-catching Chief Pocatello Statue is a mainstay in many selfies taken by newcomers to the city as well as the city’s residents. Be sure to enjoy the walking paths around the statue that connect to the Rotary International Rose Garden.
