The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗Nord was platted in 1871 by G. W. Colby following the completion of the Oregon and California Railroad to that point (some sources say the town was laid out in 1870). In 1882, Nord had a hotel, saloon, blacksmith, wagon shop, livery stable, and Good Templars lodge, and was said to ship more grain by rail than any other point in Butte County. Nord had a store until recently, but no longer has any businesses.
A post office operated at Nord from 1871 to 1933, with an interruption during 1919 and 1920.

Nothing in Nord is on the National Register yet
That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Nord has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Gianella Bridge in Hamilton City, 2.7 miles away.
