ABOUT BOISE COUNTY:

Boise county was established on February 4, 1864, with its county seat at Idaho 
City.  It was named for the Boise River, which was named by French-Canadian 
explorers and trappers.  It is one of four Idaho counties that also existed under 
Washington Territory. 

When it was established, it contained all of present Ada, Canyon, and Payette 
counties, much of present-day Boise, Gem, Washington counties, and small portions 
of Adams, Custer, Owyhee, and Valley counties.

Ada County was created in December 1864, taking land from Boise County, including
the town of Boise, which is why Boise town is not in Boise County.
