About Idaho
Idaho is a landlocked mountainous state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States.
At 45th parallel north, it shares a 72 km (44.7 mi) long border with the Canadian province of British Columbia. The ridges of the Bitterroot Range define its border with Montana.
Idaho also borders the U.S. states of Wyoming in the southeast, Nevada, and Utah in the south, and Washington and Oregon in the west.
Some history
Idaho was part of Oregon Country and the original home of the Shoshone and the Nez Perce peoples. Because of its remote location, it was one of the last of the lower 48 states to be visited by Europeans. French-Canadian trappers were the first Europeans in the region. The Lewis and Clark expedition crossed Idaho two times, once in 1805 on the way to the Pacific Ocean, and in 1806 on the way back. The Oregon Trail, which ended at Fort Vancouver in Washington, crossed Idaho Territory. Thousands of fortune seekers passed through Idaho during the California Gold Rush; only a few settled in the area.
The United States acquired the region through a treaty with Great Britain in 1846.
Idaho Territory was organized from parts of Dakota, Nebraska, and Washington territories and included parts of present-day Montana and Wyoming. The territory existed from 4 March 1863 to 3 July 1890, when Idaho Territory joined the Union and became the 43rd state. The territorial capital was first Lewiston and was then moved to Boise in 1865.
