Burley (/ˈbʊrliː/) is a city in Cassia and Minidoka counties in the southern Idaho, United States. The population was 10,345 at the 2010 census. The city is the county seat of Cassia County.[3]

Burley is the principal city of the Burley, Idaho Micropolitan Statistical Area, which includes Cassia and Minidoka counties. Burley is the third-largest city in Idaho's Magic Valley region after Twin Falls and Jerome. Along with nearby Rupert it forms the bulk of the "Mini-Cassia" area[4] of southern Idaho.

History

A post office called Burley has been in operation since 1905.[5] The community was named after David Ellsworth Burley, a railroad official.[6]

Geography

Most of the city lies in Cassia County, with only a small portion extending into Minidoka County.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 6.44 square miles (16.68 km2), of which 6.12 square miles (15.85 km2) is land and 0.32 square miles (0.83 km2) is water.[7]

Climate

Burley experiences a semi-arid climate (Köppen BSk) with cold winters and hot, dry summers. Burley is also host to incredibly high wind speeds. In 2008 a group of local farmers sued the Idaho BLM because pesticides that the Burley BLM office sprayed on their lands were carried by a wind storm onto farmers lands, effectively destroying crops.
