About this city
Also known as: The Capital of the Magic Valley
Twin Falls is the largest metropolis and absolute economic capital of Idaho's fertile Magic Valley region, acting as the county seat of Twin Falls County atop the south rim of the deep Snake River Canyon. Founded in 1904 following the massive Milner Dam construction, the city successfully reclaimed vast barren desert sagebrush plains via canal irrigation. Famous globally for its record-breaking bridge architecture and legendary motorcycle leap history, Twin Falls pairs extensive modern food technology manufacturing with jaw-dropping geological canyon scenery.
