History

Nada had its start in the year 1911 when the railroad was extended to that point; a sawmill was built there the same year.[2] The community lent its name to the nearby Nada Tunnel, originally a railroad tunnel completed in 1911.[3] The post office serving Nada was called Lombard.[2] This post office was established in 1901, and remained in operation until 1968.[4]
