The City of
Hayden, a community
of 12,760 located in scenic Northern Idaho and
nestled among the timbered and sloping shores
of Hayden Lake.
Once known as "Hayden Village", the City
of Hayden was
officially incorporated on June 27, 1955 and
began its rich history as an area steeped in
Indian folklore, cattle ranching, lumber and
farming. Families from as far away as Spokane travelled
frequently along the electric Coeur d'Alene and
Spokane Railway to recreate in the Hayden Lake
area and enjoy its simple, natural beauty.
Hayden City
Today,
with a growing population, the Hayden community
boasts a quality of life that allows its
citizens to enjoy some of the best outdoor
recreation Idaho has to offer coupled with all
of the amenities of a larger city. Residents
and visitors alike can stroll down the sandy
shores of Honeysuckle Beach, a city-owned and
operated park or enjoy an afternoon of shopping
in the City's downtown business district where
locally owned shops and stores give you a sense
of the "old Hayden Village". The result is
nothing less than the best of both worlds.
