Welcome to Weiser

Weiser, the county seat of Washington County, is a welcoming community of approximately 5000, where “small town” atmosphere still abides, but “full grown” applies to our schools, local economy, and community spirit. Here on Idaho’s west central border, at the confluence of the Weiser and Snake Rivers, you’ll find the relaxed comfort and security of rural living with a healthy infrastructure of local businesses—and “power” shopping and amenities only 70 miles east in Boise.
 
Homes here range from stunning, turn-of-the-century Victorian houses along tree-lined streets to new construction to rural residential homes on acreage for anyone seeking a piece of Treasure Valley’s beautiful countryside
 
Weiser is known for its fiddling contests, which were held in Weiser as early as 1914. The present festival—the National Oldtime Fiddlers’ Contest and Festival, which is held every year during the third full week of June—was the idea of Blaine Stubblefield. During this time, Weiser drew nationwide attention and thousands of people to the area. Weiser’s Little Theater and the Onion Skin Players also present live theater productions annually.
 

Climate & Landscape

At 2100 feet elevation, Weiser’s four distinct seasons offer “ideal livability” with approximately 11 inches of precipitation per year. Diverse acreage in the Treasure Valley includes fertile farm and ranch land, foothills, rugged draws, rolling hills, and high desert.
 
Streams, rivers, and lakes provide habitat for wildlife—deer, elk, wild turkey, and upland game birds—and a playground for outdoorsmen, whether your interest is hunting, fishing, camping, boating, waterskiing, snowmobiling, or simply taking in nature’s beauty.
 

Emergency Services

Weiser is much more than a farming and ranching valley—it is a friendly, caring home community for anyone who seeks a more relaxed pace of life and the natural beauty that West Central Idaho offers. Weiser’s Memorial Hospital is located in the heart of town with all the necessities of a larger facility, as well as an attached Medical Specialty Clinic, 24-hour EMT/Ambulance service, Home Health services, and Life Flight throughout the region.
 
A very active senior population. Weiser Senior Center (208) 549-0750 also provides a strong, supportive community for retirees.
 

History

Historians differ on the origin of the town name “Weiser”: many believe that the town was named after Revolutionary War veteran Peter Weiser, who served as a quartermaster, hunter, and cook on the Lewis and Clark Corps of Discovery, which passed through the area. The map that William Clark prepared for publication in a 1814 edition of the Lewis & Clark journals does note the newly named “Weiser River,” which may very well have been named for Peter Weiser.
 
Others, however, believe that the town of Weiser was named for the trapper and miner Jacob Weiser, who discovered gold in the early 1860s in Florence Basin’s Babboon Gulch and settled in the area soon after.
 
In 1864, Reuben Olds began ferrying people across the Snake River, providing better access to Weiser, and in 1866 the town received a post office. It wasn’t always through industry and access that Weiser grew, however; it also benefited through a bit of underhandedness in 1879, when Weiser won the county seat from the nearby town of Salubria through the bribe of a jug of “Snake River redeye” and a suspiciously missing ballot box.
 
Two years later, in 1881, the Oregon Short Line Railroad helped seal Weiser’s long-term stability by extending its tracks through the town on its way to Huntington, Oregon. Because of Weiser’s growing population during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the town ranks among the top four cities in Idaho for architecture.
