 | | Caldwell (population 25,967), the county seat of Canyon County, was named for Senator C.A. Caldwell, president of the Idaho and Oregon Land Improvement Company, which platted the townsite along the railroad. |
 | | Caldwell is located in Treasure Valley, and the construction of Federal irrigation reservoirs in 1906 and 1915 transformed the arid area into cultivated fields, sparking further growth in Caldwell. |
