History

The town of Simms, surrounded by buttes and benches, was built on a low spot in the Sun River valley. This made a perfect place to build an irrigation system. In 1902 President Theodore Roosevelt signed the Reclamation Act, and in 1906 the Sun River Irrigation Project was begun. The townsite of Simms consists of 160 acres (0.65 km). The town was named after Simms Creek, which flows into the Sun River, approximately 1-mile (1.6 km) west of the town. The creek was named after a pair of brothers who were woodcutters along the Sun River in earlier days. After the irrigation project was started, Simms became a grain and hay growing area. Simms is an unincorporated municipality of Cascade County.
