Nampa (pronounced: /ˈnæmpə/) is the largest city in Canyon County, Idaho, United States, and the second largest in the state. Only the capital city, Boise, is larger. The population was 51,867 at the 2000 census. Nampa is located about 20 miles west of Boise along Interstate 84. The city is considered part of the Boise metropolitan area. Nobody knows for sure where Nampa got its name. The belief is that it came from a Native American word for moccasin. Native Americans stuffed their moccasins with sagebrush to keep warm, making a larger footprint. (via Wikipedia)
