Kuna History

Have you ever wondered why Kuna, Idaho exists or when it all started? Well, Your in luck because I will share some of this wisdom with you, plus more.

A long time ago, there was a group of people called pioneers who were traveling through this area. One day they decided to build a railroad transportation system and decided to build it right through Boise. this track would end in what is now called Kuna (meaning the end of the trail). Soon, this desert land started being culltivated and farmed by people who wanted to take a chance on it. More and more people started moving here and before they knew it, they had a town. They even dug a canal (Indian Creek)so that they could have water to get to their crops.

Now, many years later, Kuna is a lot bigger and is still growing. Some residents still farm here (in the rural part), but a lot of Kuna is made up of subdivisions. A lot of people live here and commute to Boise for work and recreation. This once little town is now made up of about 10,000 residents. We have one of the highest growth rates in the area.
