History of Idaho Falls, Idaho:
Idaho Falls Was Founded As Taylor's Crossing, Named After Matt Taylor, Who Built A Toll Bridge Across The Snake River. The Town Changed Its Name To Eagle Rock After A Rock Island That Was The Nesting Site For Numerous Eagles In The River 7 Miles North. Later, The Town Voted To Re-name Itself Idaho Falls, After The Rapids That Existed Below The Bridge In What Was Then Called Black Canyon. The Idaho Falls Electric Cooperative Had Not Yet Constructed The Famous Artificial Falls Now In Place (as Part Of A Modern Power Generation Plant).
The Community's Economy Remained Agriculturally Focused Until The Atomic Energy Commission Opened The National Reactor Testing Station In The Nearby Desert In 1949. The Town Subsequently Became Largely Dependent On High-income Jobs From "The Site", Officially Called The Idaho National Engineering And Environmental Laboratory (INEEL) Since 1997. The Laboratory Made Several Cutbacks, Starting In 1993 And The Town Has Tried To Diversify Its Economy With Call Centers, A Growing Retail And Entertainment Sector, A Regional Medical Center, And Funding For Small Businesses.
