Haden is a ghost town in Teton County, in the U.S. state of Idaho.[1]

History

The first settlement at Haden was made in 1889.[2] Haden was platted in 1905.[1] A post office called Haden was established in 1890, and remained in operation until 1913.[3] The community was named after Ferdinand V. Hayden, a geologist.[2][1] When the railroad was built through the area, business activity shifted to nearby Tetonia.[1]
