History

The Old Beach post office operated from 1905 to 1907. The Imperial Junction post office opened in 1910, changed its name to Hobgood in 1913, and to Niland in 1914. The name Hobgood honors pioneer Richard H. Hobgood. The name Niland was coined by the Imperial Farm Lands Association from “Nile Land”, a commendatory name for the supposed fertility of the place.

From 1904 to 1960, Niland was the northern terminus of the Inter-California Railway.
