We are a small rural community of 5,343 located in southwest Idaho and the home of the National Old Time Fiddlers Contest and Festival. Located at the confluence of the Weiser and Snake Rivers, the City of Weiser is the county seat of Washington County.

Named over 200 years ago after Peter Weiser, who was a Revolutionary War hero, member of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, and mountain man, Weiser takes pride in it's rich history and is represented by many of its original buildings, which are now on the National Historic Register.

Today, the City of Weiser upholds its reputation as a community tied together through traditional family values and a sincere sense of community, as noted in our community's motto, "We Love Our Kids".

Continuing with it's strong natural resources, agricultural and ranching heritage, the City of Weiser's innovative spirit can be seen in our recent downtown revitalization, several new parks and our beautiful new Vendome Events Center.
