This is not the Hazzard County or city you see or saw on TV this is the REAL Hazzard town and our lives there.

As both a pervayor of and a proud albeit currently none resident of, the real Hazzard, which is in Idaho, I'm often amuzed that so much of the outside nation things what I write about here is strictly about a TV show on the late 1970's to 1985, called the Dukes-of-Hazzard. 
Now granted, our township of Hazzard never started out that way. And yes our township was inspired by the Dukes, but we are talking of the real Hazzard.
The real Hazzard is situated between two less than 200 population townships, Tuttle and West-Point Idaho, and between the town of Hagerman and Wendell. Hazzard is the creation of a community of custom and go fast vehicle enthusiasts that got their name from the Dukes-of-Hazzard and from the shop the REAL Hazzard County Garage that was once Pat & Jim's Speed Shop. 
The township of Hazzard Idaho, is part of Gooding County, whose real sheriff is Shaun Geouff (goff), when Hazzard was created the sheriff was Earl J Brown, followed by Robert J Aja(a-haw).  Just as it was on TV the sheriff's cars are white, with the big star. For a time, the department ran used Lincoln Continentals but fuel and all shortly curtailed that. 
The township of Hazzard Idaho's was located in part of the large home that I lived in with my parents, and the shop aka Hazzard County Garage was located on the main drag in Hagerman Idaho, next to Hagerman Hardware across from Cady Auto Company, which is a sheep livestock trucking company. The Hazzard High School is really Hagerman High School, which it was comediac also the school colors orange and black just as was the General Lee. 
So when I speak of Hazzard Idaho, or growing up there, its not about growing up in a mythical place in the deep south, although ours shares many Confederate's in it who are from that area of the union, but I'm talking about growing up around a small farm town called Hagerman, that in 1982 officially became Hazzard Idaho.
