Tule is an unincorporated community in Humboldt County, Nevada, United States. [1]

Tule was a station east of Weso on the Southern Pacific Railroad with the first reference from a 1881 map. [2] The name comes from the Nahuatl word "tollin", which means bullrush. [2]

An 1890 book includes Tule in a list of towns and settlements in Humboldt County. [3]
