The population was 2,633 at the time of the [[2010 United States Census|2010 census]]. The town name was chosen by drawing names from a hat during a community picnic. Homedale is part of the [[Boise metropolitan area]]. It was, at one time, the terminus of a branch of the [[Oregon Short Line Railroad]]. ==History== Homedale was first settled by Jacob Mussell in the late 19th century. In 1898 Jacob Mussell built a ferry boat to help settlers cross the [[Snake River]] making Homedale more accessible.

In 1914 [[Austrians]] were lured to Homedale and promised good farming ground. When they arrived in Homedale they found the land undeveloped though they still had to buy the land. Today there still is an Austrian Town in Homedale. [[Basques|Basque]] culture is also deeply rooted in Homedale. ==Geography== Homedale is on the [[Snake River]], which is the border with [[Canyon County, Idaho|Canyon County]].
