Welcome to the City of Carey, a small rural community of 730 residents nestled in the mountains of South Central Idaho. 

Located along the Little Wood River and infamous fisherman's dream, Silver Creek, and just three miles from the awe-inspiring Crater's of The Moon National Park, the City of Carey is proud of its rich history that includes strong traditions of pioneering, agriculture and family ranching. 

Today, the City of Carey upholds its reputation as a community tied together through traditional family values and a sincere sense of community.  Continuing its strong ranching heritage, the City of Carey's innovative spirit can also be seen in new industries and business that include light industrial and manufacturing of specialty lumber products, outfitting and other recreational services.
