The Gem State — so-called because almost every type of gem has been found within its borders — was inhabited by indigenous people as far back as 16,000 years ago. Idaho is the second fastest-growing state in the US after Nevada. Idaho was once part of Oregon Country, a region in the Pacific Northwest that was claimed by both the US and Britain. The state’s most famous mountain range is the dramatic Sawtooth Range, part of the Rocky Mountains.
Interesting facts about The Gem State:
- Though Idaho is famous for its potatoes, the state’s farmers also produce a large quantity of hops and lentils
- At 7,900 feet deep, Idaho’s Hell’s Canyon is deeper than The Grand Canyon
- The French names of some Idaho towns and landmarks come from the early presence of French-Canadian trappers
- The world’s longest boardwalk is the Lake Coeur d’Alene boardwalk, which is an impressive 3,300 feet long
- There are over 4,000,000 acres of wild, roadless land in Idaho
With so much open space and breathing room, good sleep seems like a sure thing in Idaho. But do the state’s residents take advantage of all that peace and quiet? Are the folks in Boise getting fewer Zzz’s than those in the country? Join us as we dive into the data and find out.
