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

History

A post office operated at Lomo from 1878 to 1881. It was previously known as Wakefields Station, for Henry Wakefield, who established a homestead on the site in 1864 and provided accommodations for teams and stages on the Humboldt Wagon Road.

Lomo once had a lumber mill, a school, and a hotel. The hotel burned down in 1882 and again in 1885. Today, Lomo is little more than an intersection, with "a few occupied dwellings" in the surrounding forest.
