STAR INCORPORATED
In 1905, Star incorporated and established city limits reaching four miles in all directions. During the early part of the century the town grew rapidly. The town had a mayor, marshal, constable, and justice of the peace. The jail was a frame building located just east of the Odd Fellows Lodge Hall. By the time the new Interurban Railway arrived in 1907, at least twenty new buildings had been erected in Star. The Farmers Bank was charted in 1907, with Boise real estate developer, W.E. Pierce, as the bank’s president. Other business included the Star Creamery, Conway Hotel, and El Dorado Lumber Company, which handled farm and orchard products. Star was a bustling village with a population of over 500 people, making it the second largest community in Idaho after Boise. According to the 1907 Idaho Daily Statesman, “Business in all lines is well represented. There are five general merchandise stores, drug store, one hardware, one lumber and coal yard, carrying as complete a stock as is to be found in the state, two blacksmith shops, two first-class hotels, two livery stables, one real estate and land office, newspaper and printing plant and the Farmers Bank of Star.”
