Overview

The US state of Idaho is located in the northwest of the USA and borders on the states of Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, Oregon and Washington. The name of the state is probably derived from the Indian word for “gem of the mountains” (Ee-dah-hoe). The state’s nickname is “Gem State” and its motto is “Esto perpetua” (it should last forever).

The federal stat covers an area of ​​216.632 km² – with only about 1.58 million inhabitants. The state capital is Boise with approximately 205,000 residents. The area was explored by the Lewis and Clark Expedition from 1805, and from 1866 the population increased due to gold discoveries. Idaho became the 43rd state of the United States on July 3rd, 1890. In agriculture, mainly potatoes, sugar beets, wheat and barley are grown. Industrial goods are primarily wood products, machinery, computer hardware, chemical products, paper products, silver and other mineral resources. Another important industry is tourism. Idaho is located in the Rocky Mountains and is known for its special landscape.

Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) bought a house in the town of Ketchum in Blaine County in southern Idaho in the year 3,000, in 1959, where he shot himself on July 2, 1961.
