Happy 135th Birthday to Nampa today!
On September 8, 1886, Alexander Duffes, James McGee and James M. Stewart filed the plat and Articles of Incorporation for the town through “The Nampa Land and Improvement Company.” Five years later, on April 17, 1891, the municipal government of the City of Nampa was established.
Duffes and many others took a chance on the sagebrush-filled land that Nampa was 135 years ago and invested hard work and resources to bring their vision of what Nampa could be to life. Their investment and passion for making Nampa a thriving and caring community has benefited generations
With a strong foundation and a promising future, we invite you to celebrate Nampa with us at the State of the City on Thurs., September 30 at 4:30 p.m. in person at the Nampa Civic Center or virtually (link and more information available at cityofnampa.us/soc).
Remembering 9/11: We must never forget the sacrifice of those who lost their lives on September 11, but also through the history of our nation, those who have sacrificed their lives for our freedom. Let's not miss an opportunity to thank those who continue to serve. Please join me at the many "Patriot Day" ceremonies happening on September 11, 2021 to show respect for the many sacrifices of the events which happened twenty years ago on September 11, 2001.
-Mayor Debbie Kling
