About Homedale

Homedale is a small, friendly farming town set along the banks of the Snake River in southwestern Idaho. Home to just under 3,000 people in Owyhee County, it gives you quiet country living within an easy drive of Nampa, Caldwell, and the greater Boise area. The community got its start in the late 1890s around a river ferry crossing, and local legend has it that the town's name was drawn straight out of a hat during an early picnic.

Daily life is relaxed and close-knit, revolving around the local schools, parks along the river, and seasonal community events. High school sports bring everyone together in the fall and winter, while summers are marked by beloved traditions like the Fourth of July demolition derby and the Owyhee County Fair and Rodeo. With open farmland all around and the rugged Owyhee Mountains nearby for weekend exploring, Homedale offers a classic small-town Idaho lifestyle.
