Idaho is a State that got its name due to a prank pulled by a Senator named George Willing. Willing claimed originally that the name Idaho was an Indian word for ‘the sun comes over the mountains’ or ‘gem of the mountains’ but later admitted he had completely made the name up. The Senate voted to name the area ‘Colorado Territory’. However, later on, the name that Willing had originally suggested stuck. Idaho is a highly agricultural State, and is the exporter of nearly one third of the nation’s potato crop. Other important products include beans, lentils, sugar beets, and barley. Some of the main industries in the State other than agriculture include: lumber, machinery, paper products, mining and cheese.
