Geography

Huetter is located at 47°42′14″N116°50′56″W / 47.70389°N 116.84889°W / 47.70389; -116.84889 (47.703759, -116.848870). [6]

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 0.04 square miles (26 acres; 0.10 km2), all land. This makes Huetter the smallest incorporated city in the United States in terms of area. [7]

Mayoral controversy

Bradley Keene and Jennifer Brown were among a group of young people who attempted a takeover of Huetter by running for mayor and city councilor, respectively, in 2007. Keene was elected, ousting longtime mayor Jackie Meeks, as was Brown; just 32 people voted in the election. [8]

However, a District judge ruled in May 2008 that Keene and Brown were ineligible to serve their term because the county had kicked them off voter registration rolls earlier in the year, a result of them not responding to challenges of their Huetter residency during the election. Keene then appealed the decision. In the ensuing two years Huetter had no official mayor, due to the litigation over the position; however, Keene had been serving as acting mayor since being elected to the city council in 2009.

Finally, in 2010, the Idaho Supreme Court ruled that the District Court had misinterpreted state statute in concluding that Keene's and Brown's positions became vacant when their voter registration was temporarily canceled after their election. The opinion reversed the removal of Keene and Brown (who later moved out of Huetter, and her council position was filled). Keene was re-elected mayor in 2011, running unopposed. [9]
