The first European settlements around Idaho Falls were scattered cattle and sheep ranches. Little happened until 1864, when Harry Rickets began running a ferry on the Snake River to serve the new tide of travel on the Montana Trail that followed the Bear River Massacre of Shoshone people in 1863. The town became a permanent settlement when the freighter Matt Taylor built a timber toll bridge across a narrow black basalt gorge 7 miles downstream from the ferry, easing travel for settlers, miners and freighters heading for the gold fields of Idaho and Montana, especially Bannack and Virginia City.
By the end of 1865 a private bank, a small hotel, a livery stable, an eating house, a post office and a stage station stood near the bridge. First called Taylor's Crossing, the town was known by 1866 as Eagle Rock, for a basalt island in the river near the ferry where about twenty eagles nested. Water rights were filed on Willow Creek in 1874, the first grain was harvested, and the first child of European descent was born at Eagle Rock that year. The Utah and Northern Railway, backed by Jay Gould and owned by the Union Pacific, was built north from Utah and crossed the Snake at the same gorge, eventually reaching the copper mines of Butte. Its grading crews reached Eagle Rock in late 1878, and by early 1879 a wild tent town of saloons, dance halls and gambling halls had sprung up, with 16 locomotives and 300 cars working between Logan, Utah, and the once-quiet stage stop.
