About Twin Falls
Once in the heart of a stretch on theOregon Trailbest known for its inhospitable environment, Twin Falls was founded in 1904 as a planned community after irrigation projects on the Snake River made large-scale agriculture in the area practical for the first time. Twin Falls is the principal city of the Magic Valley region of Idaho, so named because said irrigation projects "magically" transformed the harsh landscape into productive farmland. While agriculture remains one of the city's primary industries, its proximity to outdoor activities as well as to casino gaming in nearbyNevadagive it a regional tourist flair. Twin Falls is home to over 40,000 residents, making it one of Idaho's principal cities outside theBoisemetro area.
