Idaho Growth and development

The territorial economy grew steadily during the period between 1870 and 1880. Cattle raising became its main activity. Railroad lines were built and rich new mineral deposits were discovered. Between 1870 and 1880, various groups of Indians, offended by the invasion of their former domains, attacked the colonies of the Idaho Territory. Federal troops suppressed these uprisings, and the Indians were eventually confined to reservations.

In 1890, Idaho became the 43rd state in the Union. Already then it was the main producer of silver and began to develop an important industrylumber business. Federal irrigation projects converted large areas of desert to farmland, causing great agricultural growth during World War I and World War II . In 1951, for the first time in history, a nuclear reactor test base generated electricity from atomic energy (see Nuclear Power). By the mid-1970s, the base had become a major engineering laboratory under the jurisdiction of the United States Department of Energy.

Meanwhile, due to the popularity of mountainous regions such as Sun Valley, Idaho’s tourism industry experienced a boom, which has continued into the 1990s .and has motivated the development of new tourist centers.
