WELCOME TO THE CITY OF BUHL
Nestled in South Central Idaho along the Thousand Springs Scenic Byway, the City of Buhl is a community of roughly 4,500 residents, located about 16 miles west of  Twin Falls on Highway 30.

Buhl was founded on April 17, 1906 and named after Frank H. Buhl of Sharon, Pennsylvania—a major investor in the Carey Act irrigation efforts, notably the Twin Falls South Side project, which helped transform the Magic Valley into fertile farmland in the early 20th century.

Buhl is home to Buhl High School Indians, Buhl Middle School, and Popplewell Elementary School, along with a unique collection of local businesses and restaurants beloved by both locals and visitors.

Each year, Buhl holds an annual Sagebrush Celebration on the 4th of July, coordinated by the Buhl Chamber of Commerce. Festivities include a fun run, a parade, and activities in the city park, culminating in a spectacular fireworks show funded by the City and donations.

Known as the Trout Capital of America, Buhl has a large number of hatcheries producing significant amounts of trout distributed far beyond our region. 

Whether you live here or are just passing through, Buhl is a treasure to explore and enjoy.
We're glad you're here!
