'''Idaho''' ({{IPAc-en|audio=en-us-Idaho.ogg|ˈ|aɪ|d|ə|h|oʊ}} {{Respell|EYE|də|hoh}}) is a landlocked [[U.S. state|state]] in the [[Mountain states|Mountain West]] subregion of the [[Western University of Health Sciences|Western]] [[United States]]. It shares a small portion of the [[Canada–United States border]] to the north, with the province of [[British Columbia]]. It borders [[Montana]] and [[Wyoming]] to the east, [[Nevada]] and [[Utah]] to the south, and [[Washington (state)|Washington]] and [[Oregon]] to the west. The [[US state capitals|state's capital]] and largest city is [[Boise, Idaho|Boise]]. With an area of {{convert|83569|sqmi|km2|abbr=}}, Idaho is the [[List of U.S. states and territories by area|14th largest]] state by land area. With a population of approximately 1.8 million, it ranks as the [[List of U.S. states and territories by population|13th least populous]] and the [[List of U.S. states by population density|7th least densely populated]] of the [[List of US states|50 U.S. states]].
 
For thousands of years, and prior to European colonization, Idaho had been inhabited by [[Native Americans in the United States|native peoples]]. In the early 19th century, Idaho was considered part of the [[Oregon Country]], an area of dispute between the U.S. and the [[British Empire]]. It officially became [[Territories of the United States|a U.S. territory]] with the signing of the [[Oregon Treaty|Oregon Treaty of 1846]], but a separate [[Idaho Territory]] was not organized until 1863, instead being included for periods in [[Oregon Territory]] and [[Washington Territory]]. Idaho was eventually [[Admission to the Union|admitted to the Union]] on July 3, 1890, becoming the [[List of U.S. states by date of admission to the Union|43rd state]].
