Why boise was formed?

Boise Idaho was formed in 1863 when a group of pioneers arrived in the area in search of gold. The pioneers led by Captain Thomas E. Davis named the city after the nearby Boise River. The river was named after French-Canadian fur trappers who had explored the area in the early 1800s and the name Boise is derived from the French word "boise meaning wooded."The formation of Boise was a result of a combination of geological economic and political factors. Geologically the Boise Valley provided an excellent location for a settlement due to its mild climate abundant water supply and fertile soil. Economically the Boise River and its tributaries were a vital source of transportation and trade. Politically the area was an important crossroads for settlers traveling between Oregon California Utah and Montana.The city of Boise was officially established on December 24 1863 and the first settlers quickly began to build homes and businesses. Within a year the city had grown to include two churches five stores two hotels and a number of saloons. As the population grew the city\'s infrastructure and economy soon followed and by the turn of the century Boise had become the largest city in Idaho.
