THE BASQUE BLOCK

Just after the turn of the of the 20th century, Boise soon found itself being home to more and more Basques. According to the book Moon Idaho by James P. Kelly, Basques set up a home-base in Boise in large part due to sheep herding: “It was a job that they could get without needing to speak English and that few others were willing to take because of its solitary nature.”

Boise eventually ended up with the largest Basque population in the entire country. As well as the third largest Basque population of any city in the world.
