"Bois" means "wood" in French. South Idaho was mostly desert except for this one river with cottonwood trees growing on its banks, and French explorers named the river the Wooded River. "Boisee" is French for wooded, so when a town sprang up along its banks it was named Wooded, or Boisee...which eventually lost its second E.
