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, peasant 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.
