Established February 20, 1879 with its county seat at Albion. The county boundaries

The county seat was changed to Burley on November 5, 1918. Named for Cassia
Creek, which was named for one of two words: cajeaux, peasent French for raft;
or James John Cazier, member of the LDS Church and of the Mormon Battalion,
later a colorful captain of an emigrant train, whose name was corrupted to cassia.
Locally it is also believed that the name is derived from the name of a plant.
