Boise

Gem State capital

Boise is the capital and largest city of Idaho, located in the southwestern part of the state along the Boise River.

The name derives from the French word for "wooded," reflecting the tree-lined river valley that early French-Canadian trappers encountered.

With a metropolitan population approaching 800,000, it serves as the economic and cultural center of the region, known for its outdoor recreation access and growing technology sector.
