Caldwell has been recognized as “the heart of Idaho wine country” with a variety of wineries to tour located in the nearby countryside. Many enjoy the summer concert series hosted each year by Ste. Chapelle Winery.
The History Of Caldwell.
Caldwell’s inception largely occurred as a result of the construction of the Oregon Short Line Railroad, which connected Wyoming to Oregon through Idaho. Robert E. Strahorn came to the Boise River Valley in 1883 to select a route for the railroad, and rejected the grade into Boise City as too steep, therefore choosing a site 30 miles to the west.
He drove a stake into an alkali flat of sagebrush and the City of Caldwell was platted. Caldwell was named after one of Strahorn’s business partners, Alexander Caldwell, a former Senator from Kansas. When Caldwell was platted in August 1883, its founder, the Idaho and Oregon Land Improvement Company, started persuading settlers and businessmen to move to the area. Within four months, Caldwell had 600 residents living in 150 dwellings, 40 businesses in operation, a school, a telephone exchange and two newspapers.
Caldwell In A Nutshell.
Caldwell offers something for everyone. Recreational enthusiasts can access a variety of rocks, rivers, hot springs and hiking/biking/riding trails from the city’s core. Wine enthusiasts can head out from Caldwell to the nearby Sunny Slope Wine Trail, and foodies can delight in farm-to-table plates from one of many award-winning restaurants. Caldwell is a pleasant mix of old and new, come see for yourself!
Annual Events.
Caldwell hosts a variety of events through the year. Take part in the biggest Cinco de Mayo celebration in the Treasure Valley, peruse the Wednesday evening Farmers Market from May – October and join in the Indian Creek Festival, a two-day community event chock-full of activities from the Fireman’s Breakfast to the kayak race to the Wagons Ho Chuck Wagon experience and more! Residents and visitors alike also appreciate great golf at the Purple Sage or Fairview Golf courses.
