Hayden is a city in Kootenai County, Idaho, United States. Located in the northern portion of the state, it is a suburb of nearby Coeur d'Alene and its population was 13,294 at the 2010 census.

History

The Village of Hayden was incorporated in 1955 with a total of 440 acres with a population of barely 700 people.^[4]

According to legend, the name Hayden comes from a man named Matt Heyden, a pioneer who won the rights to name the lake, and therefore the city by winning a game of “seven-up” against John Hager and John Hickey in 1878. The lake became known as Heyden’s Lake. As time went on and the name was passed down, it was eventually officially named Hayden Lake

It is often confused as the former location of a 20-acre (8.1 ha) compound for the Aryan Nations, a neo-Nazi white supremacist group, whose compound was located just North in Kootenai County.
