About Hammett
Hammett is a tiny, peaceful rural community in southern Idaho, located about eight miles west of Glenns Ferry along the Snake River. Home to around 300 people, the area offers plenty of open space, quiet country roads, and big desert sky views. Local kids attend schools in neighboring Glenns Ferry, and residents appreciate having quick access to Interstate 84 for straightforward travel across Elmore County.
The town got its start in the early 1900s as a railroad stop and quickly grew into a farming hub fed by river irrigation. Hammett still stays true to those agricultural roots today. It offers an easygoing, slow-paced lifestyle with great fishing and boating right on the river, making it an appealing spot for anyone looking for quiet acreage within driving distance of Mountain Home and Boise.
