What Is Idaho Falls Like?

19 July 2010

Idaho Falls is a fantastic city in America, and as you might guess, it is in the state of Idaho. Idaho Falls is the biggest city (in terms of population and size) in eastern Idaho. In the 2000 census, the population of the city was just over fifty thousand. The census population survey that took place in 2008 (two years ago) has revealed that the metro population of Idaho Falls was one hundred and twenty three thousand. This makes it the third largest metro area in the state of Idaho.

Idaho has all kind of attractions and facilities to make the place a breeze to live in, as you might expect from a city with over 50,000 people. There is an airport for Idaho Falls that its residents use, called Idaho Falls Regional Airport. Perhaps Idaho Fall’s main claim to faim is the fact that it’s the home of the Idaho Falls Chukars (a minor league baseball team). The city is located next to Ammon in Idaho, and is basically a hub for all of eastern Idaho.

Now, I am sure you really want to know about the history of Idaho Falls. Well, a timber bridge on the Montana trail, built across the Snake river, was the first site of the city. This bridge is attributed to Matt Taylor, a Montana Trail freighter. The bridge that was built was able to let migrators travel across. Also, the bridge made it easy to transfer cattle across. That very bridge is still there, and it’s the icon of the city. The term ‘Idaho Falls’ for the city came about in the year 1891, because of the rapids in the Snake river around the city.

One noteworthy and disastrous event in the history of Idaho Falls was the opening of the National Reactor Testing Station in the desert west of the city. This occurred in 1949. In 1961 there was a major accident when a nuclear rod controller was removed, causing a nuclear meltdown. Three people died that day. Even after that incident, though, the Idaho National Laboratory employs over 8000 people and is still going strong.

Before the opening of the Reactor Testing Station, most occupants of Idaho Falls were farmers, or involved in the agriculture industry. After this, a lot of people got jobs at the Idaho National Laboratory. Many layoffs occured in 1993, which was a major hit to the economy. But industry is still going strong. In Idaho Falls you will find numerous entertainment centers, sports venues, restaurants, shops, clinics and much more.

There are many small and large businesses that work in Idaho Falls, and many of them do well enough to make ends meet. The rising population is enough to make many companies profitable. You will be able to locate experienced Idaho Falls dentists, knowledgeable Falls lawyers and experienced Idaho Falls accountants without too much trouble. There are also doctors, plumbers, carpenters, landscapers and every other major service that you can think of. Now as you may imagine, a lot of small ‘mom and pop’ businesses that work in Idaho Falls that manage to stay in business have been around for a while, and it is really difficult to make a profit when you first start.

Overall I would absolutely recommend visiting Idaho Falls. The community and people there are really friendly, and the city is still just small enough to keep it peaceful. You can go there either to visit or to live in. Of course, if you want to live there, you should look at the real estate market first. Many properties in Idaho Falls are actually really cheap, and the median house price is something like $250,000 – so it is easily affordable to live there.
