Idaho
Idaho,
the 43rd state, joined the U.S. in 1890. The state is appropriately
shaped like a logger's boot, and logging as well as mining are big
industries in the state. But the state is probably best known for its
potatoes.
The state's name is thought to be an Indian name,
Ee-dah-hoe, which means "gem of the mountains." Idaho has a
rugged landscape with some of the largest unspoiled natural areas in the
country.
Boise is the capital and the state flower is the
syringa.
