Gentile Valley is a valley in Caribou and Franklin counties in Idaho, United States.
Gentile Valley was named out of anti-Mormon prejudice. Non-Mormons were commonly called gentiles, and with the name the early settlers of Gentile Valley let it be known that Mormons were not welcome there.[1]
The valley is bounded by the Bear River Range on the east, Mound Valley on the south, the Portneuf Range on the west, and the Gem Valley on the north.[2]
