Santa, Idaho — Christmas Is Mostly a Postal Side Effect

Santa has carried its improbable name since long before internet marketing discovered it.

The name came from nearby Santa Anna Creek rather than a workshop full of elves, but the distinction has never prevented Christmas attention.

In 2005, the tiny Benewah County community temporarily adopted the promotional name SecretSanta.com as part of a website marketing arrangement.

The stunt made national news. Ordinary life was considerably less theatrical.

Homes and rural properties sit along State Highway 3 amid timber country south of St. Maries, and residents still have errands in July.

Santa's post office guarantees the name will always attract seasonal interest.

The town itself has the inconvenience of existing all year.
