Crouch is a city in Boise County, Idaho, United States. The population was 162 at the 2010 census. It is part of the Boise City–Nampa, Idaho Metropolitan Statistical Area. In 1990, it had only three commercial businesses for tourists and residents: a small grocery mart, a diner, and a bar. At that time, the construction of the Banks/Lowman highway began, which transformed a small unpaved road unto a paved modern road between Crouch and Lowman. During construction, the road was closed periodically. Now it is a fully modern paved roadway that serves to transport tourists, rafters, commuters, and other traffic across the middle Idaho region.

The city was founded in 1934, and named for resident William Crouch.[4]
