Lombardville served as a station for the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad. 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. A post office called Lombardville was established in 1870, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1931.
