History

A post office called Eitzen has been in operation since 1868. A share of the early settlers being natives of Eitzen, Germany, caused the name to be selected.

In September 2020, while visiting randomly selected households in Eitzen, a group of CDC officials claimed to have been confronted, and to have had their cars surrounded, by residents of houses who did not believe they were who they claimed to be; the incident was one of several that led to the discontinuation of the program. This account was disputed by mayor Jeff Adamson, who claimed the city was never informed about the plan to approach random households, and said “I think they owe the city of Eitzen and its citizens an apology”. He further said that “a city official and two other residents responded to concerns about people going door-to-door in an unmarked car with California plates […] Two vehicles driven by the city official and residents were parked on either side of the COVID-19 team’s vehicle, but it was never blocked.”
