Introduction to Idaho Falls, Idaho
Idaho Falls, Idaho, in Bonneville county, is located 446 miles NW of Denver, Colorado. The city has a population of approximately 50,730.
Idaho Falls History
Idaho Falls was the site of Taylor’s Crossing. This was a timber frame bridge that was constructed across the Snake River. The town that emerged at this site was originally named as Eagle Rock, after the rock island in the river. This was the nesting place for many eagles. This little town at the wooden bridge flaunted regular train service. Thus, it became the site for railroad’s buildings and shops. The town became Idaho Falls in 1891. The city was named after the rapids that were present below the bridge.
