History of Boise, Idaho:
The Name, "Boise" Comes From A French Word, Boisé, Meaning "wooded". It First Came To Use Among French-Canadian Fur Trappers In The Nineteenth Century As A Name For The Boise River. The Name Was Apparently A Translation Of An Earlier English Name For It, The Wood River.
Originally Known As Fort Boise, Boise Was Incorporated Under A Charter In 1864 By An Act Of The Idaho Territorial Legislature.
A Resolution To Have The Capital Of The Idaho Territory Moved From Lewiston To Boise Was Passed On December 7, 1864. It Was Changed In 1865. According To Legend, The Proposal For The Switch Was Very Unpopular, So Members Of The Government Snuck Into The Capital, Stole The State Seal From Lewiston And Left Quickly To Avoid The Public Outrage That Was Sure To Erupt When The Citizens Of Lewiston Discovered The Capital Had Been Taken From Them.
Boise Became The Capital Of The State Of Idaho On July 3, 1890 When Idaho Was Admitted To The Union As The 43rd State.
