American Falls was a landmark waterfall on the [[Snake River]], named after a party of American trappers whose boat went over the falls. The [[Wilson Price Hunt]] expedition in 1811 camped at the falls one night and the expedition of [[John C. Frémont]] was here in 1843. The [[Oregon Trail]] passed north of town, through the present-day reservoir. Power plants first sprang up at the falls in 1901. American Falls was the first town in the U.S. to be entirely relocated.<ref>{{Cite web|title=As American Falls|url=https://phmuseum.com/stevedavis/story/as-american-falls-46940a04fa|access-date=2021-02-05|website=phmuseum.com|language=en}}</ref> It was moved in 1925 to facilitate construction of the nearby [[American Falls Dam]]. The old townsite sits at the bottom of the reservoir, northwest of the present city. A larger dam was completed in 1978, downstream from the deteriorating 1927 structure, which was later demolished.<ref>"Idaho for the Curious", by Cort Conley, ©1982, {{ISBN|0-9603566-3-0}}, p.261-263</ref>
