*The pioneers who traveled over the Oregon Trail in the 1840s and 1850s rarely settled in Idaho. There were temporary trading posts and Protestant and Catholic missions, but no permanent white settlement in Idaho until 1860, when '''settlers from Utah established Latter-day Saint communities in the Cache Valley'''. | |||
*In the early 1860s, many settlers returned from Washington, Oregon, and California to the '''gold fields of Idaho's northern panhandle'''. | |||
*In the mid-1860s, silver miners established mining settlements around '''Silver City in Owyhee County'''. | |||
*At the peak of this first mining boom as many as 70,000 whites may have been in Idaho, but by 1870 this number had dwindled to the 15,000 counted in the census. | |||
*Settlement was stimulated in the 1880s and 1890s by '''new mining booms in the north''' and by the '''arrival of railroads''' in the farmlands of southern Idaho. | |||
*In the early 1900s, when reclamation projects opened desert lands to farming, a new wave of settlement from nearby states took place in southern Idaho. | |||
*Most Idaho residents are of '''British, German, or Scandinavian origin''', although there are about '''6,000 Basques living near Boise'''. | |||
