Humphreys Station (formerly, Humphreys) is an unincorporated community in Fresno County, California.[1] It is located 23 miles (37 km) northeast of Fresno.[1]
The name honors pioneer John W. Humphreys.[1]
John and his brother Miles Humphreys opened a store at the site after the Civil War. The business catered to stage travelers and to lumber workers on the Tollhouse Road, and was an unofficial passenger drop-off point for the Butterfield Overland Mail. Originally known as Humphreys Station, the site often became known as Humphrey Station after a restaurant of that name opened on the site in 1920.[2]
A one-room schoolhouse operated at Humphreys Station until 1926.[2]
