The Basque Block in the heart of the historic Basque neighborhood in Boise, Idaho offers lots of great places to visit and restaurants to eat. Learn the history behind this unique street where the Basque culture has been preserved. The only Basque museum in the U.S. is located here. The sport of handball, which Basques brought with them from their native region, the Basque Country in Spain and France, also continues to be played on this block at the Anduiza fronton. Basques started arriving in Idaho in the early 1900s, mostly to herd sheep. They operated boardinghouses to give the new arrivals from the "Old Country" a place to call home. The Basques thrived in Boise and have maintained their culture through dance, restaurants, festivals and more. While many of the Basque locations on the block have existed for many years, the Basque Block was officially inaugurated in 2000.
