An important pioneer federal reclamation dam and power plant provides water and electricity for farms and cities nearby.

Constructed 5 miles east of here between 1904 and 1906 at a cost of $675,000, Minidoka Dam diverts water into canals 86 feet above Snake River. In order to reach still higher farms south of Burley, a $413,000 power plant was completed in 1913. Local irrigation districts have repaired costs of this project. This early federal power program led to national Rural Electrification Administration services.
