24/7 Trauma and Biohazard Cleanup in Buhl, ID

Buhl is a city on the old Oregon Trail in the western half of Twin Falls County, Idaho, and it is part of the Twin Falls metropolitan area.

Buhl was founded on April 17, 1906, and named for Frank H. Buhl of Sharon, Pennsylvania, a major investor in the Twin Falls South Side Project that brought large-scale irrigation to the Magic Valley.

The 2020 census counted 4,558 residents in Buhl, up 10.6 percent from 4,122 in 2010, with 1,752 households and a median age of 37.4 years.

Buhl is known as the Trout Capital of the World, because numerous hatcheries in the immediate surrounding area produce a majority of the rainbow trout consumed in the United States.

Clear Springs Foods, located just north of Buhl, processes over 20 million pounds of rainbow trout each year, making it the world's largest producer.

U.S. Route 30 passes through Buhl along the Thousand Springs Scenic Byway, which runs from Twin Falls to Bliss.

Buhl covers 1.88 square miles of land at an elevation of 3,773 feet and has a semi-arid climate.

The city is served by the Buhl School District and has its own public library and municipal airport.

Buhl grew from just 639 residents in 1910 to 2,245 by 1920, more than tripling in a single decade.

Actress Marjorie Reynolds and televangelist Eugene Scott were both associated with Buhl, as was April McClain Delaney, later a U.S. representative for Maryland.
