Boise Has Fewer Of These Than Anywhere Else In The Country

In my never-ending quest for obscure Idaho knowledge, I stumbled upon something I never before realized!

Out of all fifty states, do you know what state + capital spelling takes up the fewest letters?

Not Topeka, Kansas. Not Dover, Delaware.

Using a mere 10 letters — BOISE, IDAHO!

Then I started thinking more about it.

Columbus, Ohio? Twelve.

Salt Lake City, Utah? Sixteen.

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma? Twenty-one!

Ain’t nobody got time for all those letters! They’re clearly compensating for something.

We prefer to keep it short and sweet, giving us more time for the really important things in life…like being extremely likeable.
