Federated state of the northwestern USA, 216,432 km², 1,466,465
residents (2006 estimate), 7 residents/km², capital: Boise
City. Borders: Montana and Wyoming (E), Utah and Nevada (S), Oregon and Washington (W); Canada (N).
State Overview
The territory is mainly mountainous, especially in the northern and central
sectors, where the imposing chains of the Bitterroot, Clearwater and
Salmon mountains rise: the highest elevation is the Borah Peak (3859 m). These
reliefs dominate the plain of the Snake River to the S, which crosses the
southern section of the state in an EW direction, marking its western border for
a long stretch; it flows into almost all the rivers of Idaho, including
Clearwater, Salmon, Payette and Boise. The climate is continental, with cold
winters and hot summers; rainfall is scarce in flat areas, copious on the
hills. Agriculture (wheat, oats, barley, potatoes, sugar beets, fruit) is of
moderate importance in the country's economy, favored, by rivers, by
irrigation. The vast pastures feed a substantial number of cattle (sheep,
cattle). Forests, consisting largely of conifers, occupy approx. 38% of the
territory. But the main economic resource of the state is the exploitation of
the subsoil: the lead and zinc deposits of Couer d'Alene are among the most
important in the United States; Idaho also has deposits of vanadium, phosphates
(at the Wyoming border), cobalt, antimony, gold, mercury, tungsten, etc. The
industry is mainly aimed at working with metals, wood and agricultural
products. Despite the wealth of the subsoil and the industries that have arisen
there, Idaho has attracted little population. This mainly lives in small urban
centers or in rural nuclei. The major cities, beyond the capital, are industry

History
Originally part of the Oregon Country, it was organized in the Territory in
1863, following the discovery of gold and the subsequent race to populate its
lands. Only in 1868 did it assume the dimensions of the present state, with the
separation of territories passed to Wyoming. It was annexed to the Union in
1890.
