Burley (/ˈbʊrliː/) is a city in Cassia and Minidoka counties in southern Idaho, United States. The population was 11,704 at the 2020 census,[2] up from 10,345 in 2010. The city is the county seat of Cassia County.[3]
Burley is the principal city of the Burley, Idaho, Micropolitan Statistical Area, which comprises Cassia and Minidoka counties. Burley is the largest city in Cassia and Minidoka counties (collectively called the “Mini-Cassia” area), and the third-largest city in Idaho's Magic Valley region after Twin Falls, and Jerome.[4]
History
The first human inhabitants of the area were Paleo Indians, who first settled the area 15 to 16,000 years ago. Later, the Northern Shoshone[5] and Northern Paiute peoples established communities in the area.[6]
Both the Oregon Trail and California Trail passed through what is now Burley.[7] The Oregon Short Line Railroad was constructed through what is now Burley,[6] following the Oregon Trail, in the late 1800's.[8]
A post office called Burley has been in operation since 1905.[9] The community was named after David Ellsworth Burley, a railroad official.[10] The town was incorporated in 1909, and became the seat of Cassia County in 1918.[6]
In 1984, the Lower Goose Creek Reservoir (Oakley Reservoir) came very close to overtopping its dam after historic rain and snowfall. Burley was considered to be at risk of flooding if the reservoir was breached. To provide a safe water outlet, hundreds of local volunteers and the Army Corps of Engineers dug a 17-mile long, 70-foot wide diversion channel across private property in 4 days. The possible flood and diversion efforts were covered by the national news program, The MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour (now PBS NewsHour) and The Washington Post.[11][12][13][14]
A Simplot potato-processing plant in nearby Heyburn employed about 650 residents in the area and was a mainstay of the local economy, from its opening in 1960, through its closure in 2003. After the plant's closure, the city of Burley took ownership of the property. It currently operates an industrial park there.[15] In the aftermath of the plant closure, voters in Burley, Rupert, and Heyburn approved bond issues to expand and upgrade wastewater infrastructure. This allowed other food processing companies to come to the area, which in turn stabilized and diversified the local economy.[16]
In 2008, a group of local farmers sued the Idaho BLM (Bureau of Land Management) because pesticides that the Burley BLM office sprayed on their lands were carried by a wind storm onto farmers’ lands, effectively destroying crops.[17]
Economy
Agriculture and food processing play a critical role in the economy of Burley and the surrounding area. Burley is part of the broader Magic Valley region, known for its dairy and crop production.[18] McCain Foods, a leading producer of frozen potato products, has a processing plant in Burley.[19] The Amalgamated Sugar Company, which processes sugar beets, also runs a plant outside of nearby Paul,[20] while Dot Foods operates a distribution plant in Burley.[21] High Desert Milk, a Burley-based cooperative, is one of Idaho's leading dairy processors; in 2021, they underwent a $50 million expansion at their Burley facility.[22] As of 2023[update], a local business, Suntado, is building a multimillion dollar shelf-stable milk factory in Burley.[23][24]
Another major sector of Burley’s economy is banking. D. L. Evans Bank, a regional bank with $2.9 billion in assets is headquartered in Burley.[25] Key Bank, Zions Bank, US Bank, Idaho Central Credit Union, First Federal Savings Bank, and Wells Fargo all also operate branch offices in Burley.
The city owns and operates the Burley Municipal Airport. In recent years, there have been proposals to replace the airport with a new facility, as the existing airport faces funding and safety issues. However, plans to move the airport have faced some local opposition and challenges securing funding.[26][27][28]
Geography
Most of the city lies in Cassia County, with a small portion extending north into Minidoka County. The Snake River forms the border between the two counties. On the north side of the river, Burley is bordered to the east by the city of Heyburn.
U.S. Route 30 passes east-west through the center of Burley, leading northeast to Interstate 84 in Heyburn and west 33 miles (53 km) to Kimberly. Idaho State Highway 27 passes through the center of Burley, leading north 5 miles (8 km) to Paul and south 21 miles (34 km) to its terminus in Oakley, while State Highway 81 leads east from Burley 9 miles (14 km) to Declo. I-84 passes through the northern end of Burley, leading west 37 miles (60 km) to the Twin Falls area and southeast 145 miles (233 km) to Ogden, Utah. The I-84 interchanges outside of Burley and nearby Heyburn are in planning for replacement and upgrades, to be constructed in the 2024-2026 timeframe; the current interchanges have been in service since their construction in 1961.[29][30]
According to the United States Census Bureau, Burley has a total area of 7.0 square miles (18 km2), of which 6.7 square miles (17 km2) are land and 0.3 square miles (0.8 km2), or 4.71%, are water,[1] referring to the Snake River.
Climate
Burley experiences a semi-arid climate (Köppen BSk) with cold winters and hot, dry summers. The hottest temperature recorded in Burley was 107 °F (42 °C) on July 30, 2000, while the coldest temperature recorded was −30 °F (−34 °C) on January 29, 1949 and January 22, 1962.[31]
