Midvale: Middle Valley on the Weiser River

Midvale is a small Washington County city on U.S. 95 along the Weiser River, about 18 miles north of Weiser and 8 miles south of Cambridge by my straight-line measurement. The state's 2022 county preservation plan says early settlers called the stretch between Lower Weiser and the Salubria Valley "Middle Valley," a name condensed to Midvale in 1906. The John Reed family settled here in 1868, and the population grew in 1881 when a party of 40 overland emigrants decided to stay. The first road from Weiser to the upper valleys crossed the river at this spot, and Midvale became a livestock center. A local history says the Pacific & Idaho Northern reached town in 1899, and that wagons once lined up for nearly a mile to unload grain at the mill, with wool and wheat shipped out by rail. Fires in 1911 and 1914 destroyed parts of downtown, and as dryland crops faded and cars made it easy to shop elsewhere, the town shrank. The Midvale Grain Elevator is on the county's list of properties to evaluate for the National Register.

Midvale seller notes

Weiser River flooding. Washington County's hazard mitigation plan says much of Midvale is within the flood zone, with 131 affected parcels in city limits, 73 of them improved. The west side of the Weiser River carries the most risk because it sits lower than the east side. Keithly Creek and the Little Weiser River add to the flood potential. A local history records floods in 1881, 1916 and 1965. Look up your address on FEMA's map and tell us what you know.

Flood insurance. The county plan reported only four NFIP policies in Midvale as of 2018. If you carry one, have the policy handy.

Sewer backup. The plan warns that a major flood can overload the sewer system and push water into basements.

Estates. When a trustee or personal representative sells, §55-2505 may mean no Idaho disclosure form is required; the estate's attorney should confirm.

Taxes. Washington County taxes can be paid half on December 20 and half on June 20.
