Nampa Idaho Becomes a Town

It’s hard to believe that just 141 years ago, the town of Nampa didn’t exist and the landscape was covered in sagebrush and loose dirt. There was no river to feed the parched land, just a few shallow, seasonal creeks. To most, this area looked like a non-productive, useless patch of nothingness.
