It was Lewiston at first, but disputes over where the capital should be resulted in it being moved to Boise. Boise was growing in size and closer to the center of the state. Lewiston was too far north. It can be argued that Boise is now too far southwest, but there aren't big enough cities near the true center of the state to make one capital. Plus, many capitals aren't in the center of their states anyway.
