Twin Falls: An Agricultural Hub in Idaho
Settlers traveled along the Oregon Trail and began to settle in places like Twin Falls. Local rancher, Ira Burton Perrine, founded the Twin Falls Land and Water Company in 1900 and worked with investors to build Milner Dam that would supply water to convert arid land into fertile farmland.
The city was incorporated in 1905 and grew as an agricultural community. The name "Twin Falls" comes from two nearby waterfalls, Shoshone Falls and Pillar Falls, which are major attractions today.
