Uncertainty surrounds the name’s etymology. One account cites U.S. Army Capt. B. L. E. Bonneville as its source. After weeks of hiking over arid and challenging terrain, his exploring party finally arrived at an overlook with a glimpse of the Boise River Valley. They were standing on the Oregon Trail east of the city at a point known as Bonneville Point. The tale goes that a French-speaking guide shouted, “Les Bois! Les Bois!” when he first saw the lush river. The name stayed (“The woods! The woods!”)
