About Idaho's Mini-Cassia Area
Mini-Cassia farm land is an important part of the area economy. The word "Mini-Cassia" comes from combining Minidoka and Cassia, two counties in South Central Idaho that really form one community. The economies of these two counties are so intertwined that it's easy to forget where Mindoka County and Cassia county meet. In fact, the city of Burley is in both counties separated by the Snake River. Declo, Oakley, Albion, Malta, Elba and Almo are also in Cassia County. Rupert, Heyburn, Paul, Minidoka and Acequia are located in Minidoka County.

Cassia County was created in February 20, 1879 and the original county seat was in Albion, Idaho. It was later moved to Burley on November 5, 1918. Minidoka County was established in January 28, 1913 with the county seat in Rupert. The type of land in the Mini-Cassia area is incredibly diverse with alpine lakes, lush farmland, desert areas, forests, thriving valleys and of course the Snake River plain.

The Snake River, which is the boundary that divides Minidoka and Cassia County, is one of the features that also ties the two counties together. In this part of Southern Idaho, farms and dairies are the primary driving force behind the local economy. The Snake River is an important part of both industries and is the life blood of our area.

Mini-Cassia Real Estate
Mini-Cassia real estate is very affordable. Real estate in the Mini-Cassia area of Idaho is some of the most affordable property in the United States. Even compared to other parts of Idaho, housing and land in both Minidoka and Cassia County is a real bargain.

Whether you are looking for an old Victorian home to renovate, a place to start your business or a great place to raise your family, Mini-Cassia is where you belong. If you are fortunate, you might even be able to purchase a piece of land in one of our smaller towns that are rich with "old west" history.

Things to do in the Mini-Cassia Area
The Sawtooth National Forest is just one of many public lands in the Mini-Cassia area. Public lands are abundant in the Mini-Cassia area and provide residents and visitors with many outdoor opportunities, including hunting, fishing and camping. Trail activities such as hiking, backpacking, camping, horseback riding, bicycling and four-wheeling are minutes away, no matter where you are located in the area.

The Snake River is a great place for fishing, water skiing and boating. In fact, it is the home of the famous annual Burley Regatta in June. There are also many lakes and streams available for the avid fisherman.

If you're wanting to see a little history, the Oregon Trail, California Trail and several other pioneer trails cut across the Mini-Cassia area leaving many historical landmarks along the way. Register Rock which is located in the City of Rocks, still bears the names and initials (written in axle grease) of many emigrants passing through in the mid-1800's. Some of the rocks even have ruts from the wagon wheels.
