From the Tagalog (Filipino) word "bundok" meaning mountain. "Boondocks" became a part of American vocabulary during the American-Philippine War, during which mountainous terrain afforded the Filipinos a position of strategic advantage in fighting for their country's independence. The boondocks served as a Filipino base of resistance while earning a word in everyday American language synonomous with "hinterlands."
During the American-Philippine War, the boondocks were highly contested terrain.

Almost always used as "the boondocks" or "the boonies." This is beyond country. This is far off the main roads, and almost in the wilderness. Essentially the middle of nowhere.
You know you live in the boondocks when you can't see your house from the road.
