A Selected Bibliography of City of Hansen, Twin Falls County, Idaho
A compilation of essential readings detailing the history, geography, and culture of the region.
In the middle and on the edge the Twin Falls region of Idaho by James R. Gentry, College of Southern Idaho, Twin Falls Centennial Commission
Dr. Jim Gentry arrived in Twin Falls in 1969 at the age of 23 to begin teaching history at the College of Southern Idaho. Having lived in five other states, Jim was glad to have found "his home". That love encouraged historical research and an ongoing fastination with local history. This book illustrates a concept that took shape early in Jim's study; that this region was in the middle and on the edge even before Twin Falls was founded in 1904

History of Hansen, Idaho, 1904-1984 by Frances Harris
History of Hansen, Idaho, 1904-1984 by Frances Harris is a detailed 1984 local history, published locally in southern Idaho, that captures the foundational settlement and grassroots development of this small Twin Falls County community. The book chronicles the dramatic transformation of the arid Magic Valley region following the massive early 20th-century Snake River irrigation projects—sparked by the Carey Act and the completion of the nearby Milner Dam—which successfully converted the high desert sagebrush plains into a highly productive agricultural hub. By meticulously compiling pioneer reminiscences, family genealogies, and the civic records of early schools, churches, and businesses, Harris preserves the grit and resilience of the town's founders. Ultimately, it serves as an invaluable, community-focused resource for genealogists and regional historians seeking an intimate look at the agricultural heritage and rural settlement patterns that defined the early 20th-century pioneer experience in southern Idaho.
