A post office called Wapello was established in 1904, and remained in operation until 1908.[2] The community was named after Wapello, an Indian chieftain.[3] Idaho Falls, Idaho, is 35 miles (56 km) away.

The population of Wapello has remained steady, with about 12,000 residents in 2010. [citation needed] Politically similar to other rural areas of Bingham County, Wapello voting records indicate approximately three registered Republicans for every registered Democrat.[citation needed]
