Curious to know if anyone on the Idaho forum is a native Idahoan? Or are all of you transplants?
By the way I'm a 3rd Generation.

I went to college in Utah; does that disqualify me?

Does it count if I married a native (no pics)...she grew up around the corner of Cole and Fairview in BOI. Moved to CA after high school as she was tired of "small town living"...at that time, the world ended at Cole road and a 2 lane gravel highway took you to Meridian. Nothing between the 2 but farms and dairies.

We spent a few years in CA and moved the eff out to TX. From TX to ID happened in 2002. We're beyond thankful that we GTFO of CA.

Came here this summer from Oregon. We lived in what used to be a small suburb of Portlandia. The wife and I decided to peacefully revoke our consent to be governed by that state. Joined the Idaho 2nd Amendment Alliance about five minutes after arriving, have written our reps, etc etc.

We didn't buy new construction either. The endless subdivisions were what ruined our last small town.

Born in Boise 1951, 68 years full time resident. Third Generation. I can remember my dad bringing us home after a picnic in Idaho City. Lucky Peak Dam was being built. POP sign entering Boise was something like Boise POP 26,000

Remember taking my shotgun to school and hunting pheasants in the corn fields along Cole and Cloverdale roads.

Times are a changing.

I'm transplant as fuck. Born in Alabama, raised as a missionary's kid all over this planet, thought I was going to settle down in California...nope...fuck that place...

The sad thing is, I think I'm not going to get twenty years here before I move to Wyoming. After that, North Dakota. The liberal disease isn't going to trash this entire nation before I die!

Yep, born in Kootenai County. Now, way out numbered by transplants...

Born in Boise, and only left for my time in the navy.

I'm not a native but my kid is. I've been here 12 years this July. In another few years I'll have lived here longer than I've lived anywhere else.

It's kind of funny here for me. I'll kind of start getting annoyed with living here and I'll want to move. I go on vacation and I'm ready to be back in Idaho within a few days. I'm not a real fan of the Boise area, but it's far better than most places I've been to.

I'm an import...got stationed to MHAFB in 2006 and been here ever since, and will stay as long as I can, which I hope is forever!

I was born in Florida, but I am embarrassed to tell anyone that.

Wife is from Texas, but comes from about 3 generations of Idahoans. Not sure if that counts.

Born in Mt. Home, Idaho. Bounced around for a bit with my Dad in the Air Force. Moved back to St. Maries, Idaho at ~10 years old. Went into the Marines out of high school and am back in North Idaho now.

Born in panhandle almost 40 years ago, grew up in Sandpoint. Took a job in CA after college, took way longer than I'd like to get back. Like others have said, here to stay!

So how long does one have to live in Idaho to be considered an Idahoan?

Ive been here going on 21 years.

That should do it.

Not native. I am lucky enough to have lived in many places. Gives me a good perspective. I fucking love Idaho
