There is not much major industry in the city and surrounding areas of Caldwell, although there is a thriving agricultural economy.

Many people prefer to live out in this general area due to the fact that it is much quieter and open the Boise is.

There is amazing fishing and hunting in this area of the country and people come from all over to participate in both of these activities. There is great camping to be had all over this area and some of the most beautiful rock formations you've ever seen. There are a handful of spectacular waterfalls that are very close to Caldwell, as well as some amazing hiking routes.
