Coombs was once a small community, or "settlement," located in Yuba County, California. It is no longer there today, which is why it's called a "former settlement." Think of it as a place that people lived in, but it didn't grow into a big town or city and eventually faded away.

What Was Coombs?

Coombs was a place where people lived and worked many years ago. It was considered a "settlement" because it was a populated area, but it never became a large town or city. Over time, the people moved away, and the settlement no longer existed.

Where Was Coombs Located?

Coombs was situated in Yuba County, California. It was about 11 miles (18 kilometers) north-northeast of a larger city called Marysville. The area where Coombs was located is about 115 feet (35 meters) above sea level. It was also near the Southern Pacific Railroad, which was an important railway line.

When Did Coombs Exist?

We know that Coombs was an active settlement for some time because it appeared on maps. The last time Coombs was shown on maps was in 1912. This tells us that by that year, it was still recognized as a place where people lived or had lived. After 1912, it seems the settlement was no longer active enough to be marked on maps.
