History

The town was settled in 1849, and named for William M. and Mark D. Dobbins, early settlers. Dobbins was not a mining town originally, but a farm area. There were stage station stops, for teamsters’ and their wagons, at what was known as Scott Ranch (three miles below Dobbins- Marysville Rd). Dobbins served as a stage stop until the coming of the automobiles.

The first post office was established in 1851 under the name Dobbins Ranche, which was closed in 1854. The post office returned in 1887 and has operated continuously since then.
