Boise County is a rural mountain county in the U.S. state of Idaho. As of the 2010 census, the population was 7,028.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/16/16015.html )〕 The county seat is Idaho City,〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2011-06-07 )〕 and Horseshoe Bend is its largest city. Boise County is part of the Boise, ID Metropolitan Statistical Area. The Bogus Basin ski area is in the southwestern part of the county. The county's eastern area contains the central section of the Sawtooth Wilderness, the western part of the Sawtooth National Recreation Area.〔U.S. Forest Service map, Sawtooth National Forest, 1985, reprinted 1989, 23.60.400.12/85C〕 In 2010, the center of population of Idaho was located in Boise County.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Centers of Population by State: 2010 )〕 == History == The county was established 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 for the great variety of trees growing along its banks in the lower desert valley. The Boise Basin, in which Idaho City lies, was one of the richest gold mining districts in the nation. Gold was discovered in 1862 and more of it was pulled from present-day Boise County than from the entire state of Alaska. At its peak in the mid-1860s, Idaho City was the largest city in the Northwest, and it was this rapid population influx that lead to the establishment of the Idaho Territory in 1863. The lower elevation communities of Horseshoe Bend (Payette River) and Boise (Boise River) were staging areas for the Boise Basin mines.〔(Idaho.gov ) - About Idaho - Boise County - accessed 2011-12-09〕〔( boisecounty.us ) - official county website - history of Boise County - accessed 2011-12-09〕 When Ada County was partitioned from mountainous Boise County in December 1864 it included the present-day counties of the Treasure Valley: Canyon, Payette, and Gem (southern). In March 2011, the county filed a Chapter 9 bankruptcy petition due to judgment against the county for violating the Fair Housing Act.〔(Boise County files for bankruptcy )〕 the county’s Petitions for Chapter 9 relief was denied. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Boise County, Idaho」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
