10 Reasons Why We Should Show Nampa More Love Than We Do

Let's face it: Nampa doesn't get enough love. Boise gets a ton of attention for obvious reasons and even Meridian (see: The Village) takes some of the spotlight from time to time. But why is it no one is talking up Nampa?

Some people might prefer the vibrant city life that Boise has to offer but there are plenty of reasons to show some love to Nampa. According to WorldPopulationReview.com, Nampa has a population of 117,082 and while that's less than Boise (240,713) and a tad smaller than Meridian (139,422), Nampa still has plenty to offer as the smallest of the three. Despite that, it's not uncommon to hear locals make jokes about Nampa.

For example, one of us met someone out at an event recently and she joked that she was "from West Meridian" because she didn't want to claim Nampa as home. Ouch!

Not everyone feels that way and found the reviews to prove it. Let's take a moment to show a bit more appreciation for the city of Nampa that may one day surpass Boise as "the city" in Idaho.
