Ranch Features
HISTORY: Ranch History - This ranch has been in the family for two generations. The ranch shows a pride of ownership and has been well cared for and maintained. Town History - Melba is a small town perched on a bluff overlooking Idaho's great Snake River. The town was settled in the early 1900's and named for Melba Todd, daughter of the town founder C.C. Todd. Since the towns beginning, its economy has revolved around farming. Known by many as the "Seed Heart of America", some of the major crops coming from Melba valley have been sweet corn, beans, sugar beets, alfalfa hay, onion and carrot seed, potatoes, dairy products, and beef cattle. Many family farms in Melba are now being operated by third and fourth generations. County History - Canyon county was established on March 7, 1891, with its county seat at Caldwell. Current sources attribute the name to the canyon of the Boise River near Caldwell. However, both John Rees and Vardis Fisher believed it was named for the Snake River canyon that forms a natural boundary for the county. The Hudson's Bay Company established Fort Boise in 1834 near what is now Parma, but abandoned it in 1855. Immigrants traveled through Canyon County on the Oregon Trail.
