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]
