Burgdorf, Idaho
Burgdorf is an unincorporated community in the western United States, located in Idaho County, Idaho, approximately north-northeast of McCall, at an elevation of above sea level. History Originally a sacred site for Native Americans, its hot springs were discovered by unknown Chinese miners, and settled by young German immigrant Fred C. Burgdorf in the late 1860s. Burgdorf had mined in nearby Warren to the east and turned the area at the hot springs into a resort by 1870. Following a new mining rush in 1898 at Thunder Gulch, the resort was refurbished and expanded in 1902 by Burgdorf and his new young wife, a singer from Denver named Janette Foronsard. Originally known as "Resort," it became "Burgdorf" at this time, but the former name continued in usage for several years. Following Janette's death in 1923, Burgdorf sold his interest and moved to Weiser. Burgdorf's population in 1925 was 13. Much of the community has now been deserted, although reconstruction has be ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
