A post office operated at Mount Bullion from 1862 to 1955, with a closure for a period during 1887. The place was first named La Mineta (for little mine). Then it was called Princeton for the Princeton Mine nearby. Finally, the name Mount Bullion was applied in honor of Senator Thomas Hart Benton, whose nickname was "Old Bullion" due to his fiscal policies.
