This roaring metropolis was founding early in October, 1862, about ten weeks after gold was discovered in Boise basin.

By the next summer, this was the largest city in the Northwest, with 6,275 people — 5,691 of them men! Families followed, and respectable businesses, schools, libraries, good theaters, churches, and fraternal orders came soon. The town survived several disastrous fires and remained an important mining center until the war shut down gold production in 1942.
