The following list of Post Offices includes all of the offices that were located in Butte County during some period of their existence. When Butte County was split into the present-day counties of Butte, Harding, and Perkins in 1909, each county's Post Offices, naturally, followed suit; thus, one might be surprised to find many of the present-day towns of Harding and Perkins Counties included in this table.
