Boise Basin and Boise County Origins in Gold Rush Era
The Boise Basin story begins with Moses Splawn hearing a Bannock tale of a southern gold basin. Miners crossed into Idaho and the Boise River area, aided by Bannock Louie, discovering rich deposits by August 1862. Settlements bloomed, roads formed, and towns like Placerville and Idaho City rose, fueling rail, trade, and a vibrant frontier culture amid Indian conflicts and vigilante roots.
