Why Murphy Chooses Anthem
The Internet Provider That Earns Your Business Every Month
Murphy holds a distinction that surprises most people who encounter it: it is the county seat of Owyhee County, one of the largest counties by area in Idaho, with a population of fewer than 100 people. The seat of county government didn't always reside here — for decades it was Silver City, high in the Owyhee Mountains where gold and silver discoveries in the 1860s built a booming mining town of 2,500 with 75 businesses and over 250 active mines. When the mining era wound down and Silver City's population collapsed, the county moved its seat in 1934 to Murphy, a more central location for the ranching and agricultural communities that had become Owyhee County's economic backbone. That ranching heritage shaped everything about Murphy, including its broadband story. Twenty-five miles south of Nampa on ID-45, in a county defined by wide open space and sparse population, modern internet infrastructure arrived slowly and incompletely. CenturyLink's reach thinned considerably this far from the Treasure Valley's core, Rise Broadband offered fixed wireless coverage in the corridor, and Sparklight's network extended into the surrounding area for those within reach. Anthem's Murphy tower brings fiber-fed wireless service directly to the county seat itself — a meaningful commitment to connectivity for a small but functionally important community that serves the governmental needs of an entire county.
