The history of Burley began with a rich Native American background. The Burley area is home to the Oregon and California Trails along with thirty plus other pioneer trails. More pioneer trails and cutoffs passed through Cassia County and the Burley area than any other part of the United States. The main Oregon Trail crossed the northern edge of the county in a westerly direction. The California-Applegate Trail left the Oregon Trail in the northeast corner of the county through the City of Rocks and headed southwest toward California gold. To this day, many of the original wagon ruts still appear in the landscapes. Burley City was founded around 1905.
