ABOUT CASSIA COUNTY:

Cassia County was created from Owyhee County on February 20, 1879.  A western 
portion became Twin Falls County in 1907.  The county assumed its present 
boundaries when an eastern portion became Power County on January 30, 1913. 

The county was named for Cassia Creek, which in turn was named either for John 
Cazier, a member of the Mormon Battalion and an emigrant train captain, or for a 
plant found in the area.

The first Europeans explored the area in 1811.  It was trappers who initially 
developed the Oregon Trail, which ran on the county's northern border.  The Raft 
River's junction with the Oregon Trail marked the split for the California Trail.
