Hazelton lies about twenty miles east of Twin Falls, in the center of fertile irrigated land alongside the Oregon Short Line Railroad, with the Northside Canal on the west and the Northside-Gooding Canal on the east.

Hazelton came into being about two decades after the Carey Act of 1894, under which the federal government gave states more than one million acres each where irrigation was feasible, in order to attract settlers through land drawings.

Two pioneer surveyors from Cassia County, Frank Ribbet and John T. Hansen, were the first to envision bringing water from the Snake River to irrigate the land north of the canyon, a vision shared by I. B. Perrine for a blooming and fertile Snake River Plain.

Men came to the area to work on extension of the canals, and a huge hotel was built in Hazelton, where just about all of them stayed.

Near Hazelton stands Greenwood School, a historic school building opened about 1914 in the pioneer settlement of Greenwood, one of many communities formed after irrigation projects enabled farming in the Magic Valley; it was named for pioneer couple Annie Pike and Charles Greenwood and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 27, 2020.

Hazelton's ZIP code is 83335.
