Humboldt City had a post office 1862-1869.
In 1860 the rush to the Comstock Lode was in full swing. Men poured into the region by the thousands, with some of them choosing to move beyond the crowded Comstock mines with the hope of finding a new strike. In the spring of 1860, one of these men, a French trader, discovered rich silver ore in the Humboldt mountain range.
