Editing Atomic City, Idaho (section)

==History==
{{unreferenced section|date=December 2024}}
Atomic City was called "Midway" until 1950, as it is halfway between the towns of [[Blackfoot, Idaho|Blackfoot]] and [[Arco, Idaho|Arco]] (home of [[Experimental Breeder Reactor I]], the world's first electricity-generating nuclear power plant). Atomic City had a larger population when the neighboring [[Idaho National Laboratory]] site was newer, known as the "National Reactor Testing Station" until 1975.  Atomic City disincorporated after residents approved through an election in 2020.

There is one store and one bar in Atomic City; the store no longer sells gasoline, due to new laws pertaining to its underground gas tanks.
