Junction is an unincorporated community in Lemhi County, in the U.S. state of Idaho.[1]

History

Bannock had its start when A. M. Stephenson established a hotel at the site.[1] The community was so named from its location at the junction of Bannock pass road and the Mormon road.[1][2] A post office called Junction was established in 1874, and remained in operation until 1919.[3]
