Cemeteries in Buhl (City)
Twin Falls County, Idaho, United States
Buhl, located in Twin Falls County, Idaho, was founded in 1906 as part of the Twin Falls irrigation project that transformed the Snake River Plain into productive farmland.
The town was named after Frank H. Buhl, a Pennsylvania financier who helped fund the Milner Dam and irrigation infrastructure. Originally inhabited by the Shoshone people, the area saw an influx of settlers following the opening of irrigated lands. These settlers—primarily of German, Scandinavian, and British descent—established farms focused on crops such as potatoes, sugar beets, and alfalfa. Buhl quickly gained a reputation as the "Trout Capital of the World" due to its prolific aquaculture industry. Early religious life centered on Protestant and Catholic congregations. The town developed under Idaho’s local jurisdiction and has maintained its agricultural identity.
Cemeteries such as West End Cemetery reflect Buhl’s early settler history and the growth of a close-knit farming community on the southern Idaho plain.
