ABOUT OWYHEE COUNTY:

Owyhee County was the first county organized by the Idaho Territorial Legislature 
on December 31, 1863. While Boise, Idaho, Nez Perce, and Shoshone counties were 
organized earlier under the laws of Washington Territory, they were not recognized 
by the Idaho Territory until February 1864.

In area it is the second-largest county in Idaho, behind Idaho County. Its history 
is closely linked to the mining boom that dominated Idaho Territory in the second 
half of the 19th century.
