Historical NoteReturn to Top

In February 1901, a group of Poverty Flat, Idaho, farmers met and pledged to build a canal system to improve local agriculture. Through the efforts of these farmers, a local organization named the Oneida Canal Company Limited emerged, but within a year it underwent a reorganization which resulted in the Oneida Irrigation District (OID). In 1920 the internal workings of the company underwent a second reorganization, and then it was subsequently known at the Twin Lakes Canal Company (TLCC). Over the course of the company's history, management passed from the hands of the local founding farmers to officers that transformed the company into a major organization.

After the canal company was organized, work began on a canal that aimed to pull water from Mink Creek Canyon and direct it to the area near present day Weston, Clifton, and Dayton in Franklin County, Idaho. The construction of this canal eventually transformed the area's agricultural systems by providing roughly 13,000 acres of dry land with irrigated water. Internal bickering and bitterness, however, marred much of company's early history. In 1908, allegations of mishandling district funds were leveled against A. D. Henderson (the first president of the canal company), A. W. Hart (secretary), and George C. Parkinson (treasurer). Litigation dragged on for five years until Judge Henry Rolapp and auditor Orson P. Rumel cleared all three men of the charges.

Due to dissension and mismanagement of the canal district, it fell into financial difficulties and canal construction lagged due to the lack of funds. In 1916 the Amalgamated Sugar Company bought interest in the irrigation district in hopes of improving beet production. The Amalgamated Sugar Company assumed the debts of the canal company and, for a short time, the company was known as the Oneida District of the Amalgamated Sugar Company. Although years behind schedule, the canal was finished largely because of the Amalgamated Sugar Company's money. While the sugar company continued to own a substantial percentage of the canal company's stock, its control only lasted until the 1920s, whereafter ownership passed back to the TLCC. However, from the completion of the canal to the present, the TLCC has functioned to aid southern Idaho's agricultural economy.

Content DescriptionReturn to Top

The records of the Twin Lakes Canal Company provide a record of irrigation ventures in southern Idaho and northern Utah and the company's struggles over time. The materials in this collection span the period from 1880 to 1992, providing information on the evolution of irrigation methods spanning a one-hundred-year period. This collection contains the canal company's minutes, correspondence, financial papers, and legal papers. This collection consists of forty boxes of material, twenty-five oversized ledgers, and numerous oversized maps and blueprints.

The boxed materials in this collection have been organized chronologically and then topically. The oversized ledgers have been placed at the end of the collection. The blueprints and maps have been stored in Map Cabinet 5.

It should be noted that some of the materials in this collection have been temporally loaned back to the canal company. The current inventory of this collection reflects the best effort of Special Collections & Archives to aid researchers and to avoid any confusion about which materials from this collection are on loan. As of March 2005, Boxes 36—40, Books 20—25, and twenty-six individual folders from the collection are on loan to the canal company. These items are marked as "on loan" in the following inventory.
