In 1864, a trapper named Matt Taylor established a ferry service to shuttle westward bound miners and settlers across deep waters at a narrow stretch of the Snake River. The town that grew around the crossing was originally called Eagle Rock after the bald eagles that can still be seen soaring above the river banks. The town was renamed Idaho Falls in 1891.
Today the city remains a convenient gateway to nearby attractions including Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks and world-class skiing at Targhee and Sun Valley. The Eagle Rock Art Museum and the Museum of Idaho showcase local art and Idaho natural history. Miles of paved trails surround the Snake River Greenbelt and historic downtown, perfect for walking and biking.
With a population of 50,000, Idaho Falls is the fourth largest city in Idaho, and serves as a regional center for medical care, shopping and business. Hotels and restaurants are plentiful, queues are short and the people are friendly.
