It is claimed that the Twin Falls, Idaho, area history, travels back more than 10,000 years. Before the town of Twin Falls was founded by settlers in the early 19th century, it was inhabited by a few Native American tribes. In 1959, evidence of human activities, including native american arrowheads and fascinating tools were discovered near the Wilson Butte Cave.
Twin Falls as we know it today was settled in the early 1800's by Robert Stuart and other settlers, some from the United States east coast. But the city of Twin Falls now has little resemblance to the small original settlement they started. However, much of the surrounding country hasn't changed all that much.
Twin Falls today has a very bustling economy and enjoys a healthy, steady, and growing, stream of tourists. Tourist attractions in Twin Falls include many varied outdoor activities, there is great fly fishing much of the year, with over 200 sunny days average. In the winter, it is only a half hour to two hours or so, to some of the greatest ski mountains & lodges in Idaho, including Schweitzer to the north or Silver Mountain. Other ski resorts in Idaho include Sun Valley, Soldier Mountain and Tamarack Resort. Magic Mountain & Pomerelle are within minutes to an hour of the city. Super now skiing, snow boarding, hunting, hiking, fishing, camping, para-sailing, flying, prospecting, and more can be enjoyed to the full here. Afford To Do It All
The downtown area of Twin Falls, commonly referred to as Olde Town, is the site a fine restaurant or two, a very nice & rustic Trading Post & gun shop, and a good number of unique little shops, used merchandise stores, banks, and re-vitalized old buildings - now home to modern offices, barber shops, etc. Then north on Shoshone Street, enter Blue Lakes Boulevard, taking you to the more heavily developed part of the city. Nicer, bigger shopping malls, dozens of great restaurants, sporting good stores, fast foods galore, a brand new major hospital (just opened 5-21-11), and much, much more will greet you toward this end of Twin Falls, Idaho.
