History of Idaho Falls

The town was first established as Eagle Rock in 1866. The town featured a bank, hotel, livery stable, and eating house alongside its post office and stage-coach station. The railroad came through the area beginning with construction crews in 1878 bringing with it a camp-town and a collection of gambling establishments, dance halls and saloons.The town’s name was officially changed to Idaho Falls in 1891. The largest irrigation canal in the world was built at Idaho Falls in 1969 to take water from the Snake River and feed it into tens of thousands of acres of desert land in the surrounding area and transform it into farmland. The irrigation efforts made it possible for Idaho Falls to become one of the most productive agriculture regions in the states.
