Established February 20, 1879 with its county seat at
Albion. The county boundaries were later reduced in 1913
by the creation of Twin Falls and Power counties. The
county seat was changed to Burley on November 5, 1918.
Named for Cassia Creek, which was named for one of two
words: cajeaux, peasent French for raft; or James John
Cazier, member of the LDS Church and of the Mormon
Battalion, later a colorful captain of an emigrant
train, whose name was corrupted to cassia. Locally it is
also believed that the name is derived from the name of
a plant.
