Lombardville served as a station for the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad.[2] Lombardville was platted on July 8, 1870, and served as a station for the Buda Rushville Railroad Branch, which connected with the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad system. In the early 1870s the town had a hotel, grain elevator, and the Lombardville mining company.[3] A post office called Lombardville was established in 1870, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1931.[4] The community was named for the Lombard family, the original owners of the town site.[5]
