Brigham Young University Idaho was originally created in 1888 as Bannock Stake Acadamy. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as a whole was the founder and sponsor of the school. The Church began many 'Stake Acadamies' around this time, as there were no public secondary schools available in the area.

In 1903 the school was re-named Ricks Acadamy after the stake president, Thomas Ricks. Once the school became accredited by the state of Idaho (meaning it's diplomas were recognized by the state) in 1917, the school became Ricks College. It was renamed BYU Idaho in 2001.
