Lomo (Spanish for "Hill") is an unincorporated community in Butte County, California. It lies 4.5 miles (7.2 km) of Butte Meadows,[2] at an elevation of 3779 feet (1152 m).

History

A post office operated at Lomo from 1878 to 1881.[2] It was previously known Wakefields Station.[2]

Lomo once had a lumber mill,[3] a school, and a hotel for travelers on the Humboldt Wagon Road.[4] The hotel burned down in 1882 and again in 1885.[5] Today, Lomo is little more than an intersection, with "a few occupied dwellings" in the surrounding forest.[6]
