HOW STAR, IDAHO GOT ITS NAME
So, how did Star get its unique name? During the 19th century, the area was most easily identifiable by a large star located on its school house. This star was used as a guide by people moving in and around Boise, who referred to the small town as “Star.” Despite attempts to create an alternative name, it stuck. The lighthearted residents have embraced the moniker and consider it an important part of their cultural identity.
WINE CULTURE
