History
Cassia County was established in 1879, and was named after Cassia Creek, which was named after the Cassia plant, a type of shrub native to the area. The county was originally inhabited by the Shoshone and Bannock Native American tribes. The first settlers in the county were Mormon pioneers, who arrived in the area in the late 1800s. The county was primarily an agricultural area, and the main crops grown in the county were potatoes, sugar beets, alfalfa, and wheat.
In the early 1900s, the county experienced a population boom due to the construction of the Oregon Short Line Railroad. The railroad brought many new settlers to the area, and the county's population grew rapidly. The county also experienced an economic boom during this time, as the railroad allowed for the transportation of goods and services to and from the county.
In the late 1900s, the county experienced a decline in population due to the decline of the railroad industry. However, the county has since experienced a resurgence in population and economic activity due to the growth of the dairy industry and the expansion of the retail and tourism industries.
Today, Cassia County is a thriving agricultural and economic center in southern Idaho. The county is home to many farms, dairies, and businesses, and is a popular tourist destination. The county is also home to many recreational activities, such as fishing, hunting, camping, and hiking.
