Boise
Boise is the state of Idaho in western Idaho, USA and the county seat of Ada County. It spans the Boise River, which is the base of the North Rocky Mountains. Boissy was derived from bois, which means "a lot of forests" in French. French Canadian fur hunters entered the area in the early 1800s. They gave it their name because the trees stood on the banks of the river. Boissy's nickname is "the city of trees". Federal agents maintain local offices in Boise, and governments - states, states, and provinces themselves are the city 's largest employers. Some corporations have headquarters in Boise. These companies include computer microchip manufacturing, construction, food processing, and the wood products industry. Cultural destinations include the Boise Museum, the Idaho Historical Museum, and the Boise Zoo. Before the arrival of the white settlers, Shoshone and the Paiute Indians lived in the present city of Boise.
