About Notus
Notus is the smallest city in Canyon County — roughly 600 residents (2026 estimate 604) along US-20/26 between Nampa and Parma. It's a quiet agricultural hamlet with a city park, a small museum, and a library, where the draw is simply acreage, affordability, and distance from traffic. The two schools (Notus Elementary and Notus Junior/Senior High) are the community's anchor, and the surrounding fields of onions, corn, and seed crops define the landscape. Nampa and Caldwell are 15–20 minutes away for everything else.
