Boise Cascade Company was established in 1957 as Boise Cascade Corporation, a result of the merger between Boise-Payette Lumber Company of Boise and the Cascade Lumber Company of Yakima, Washington.
After over-extending itself into non-traditional areas under young CFO William Agee, the company nearly went into liquidation in 1972. A management team under new CEO John Fery (1930–2017) got the company back to basics through the rest of the 1970s.
After the purchase of OfficeMax in 2003, Boise Cascade separated its distribution and manufacturing businesses the following year. The pulp and paper assets of Boise Cascade L.L.C. were sold to an investment firm in 2008, then acquired by Packaging Corporation of America in 2013 and became its Boise Paper division. Boise had entered the paper side of the forest products industry in 1958 with a new mill in treeless Wallula, Washington.
