Lund is a pleasant farming and ranching community. Although it has never grown very large, Lund has maintained a steady population consisting of many whose forefather's pioneered the area. Their roots are deep and this is a community that is proud of its heritage. Many buildings remain from Lund's early years.
Lund was located on the Hamilton-Pioche stage line on Tom Plane Ranch that was established in 1873. The first flourmill in White Pine County was built in Lund in 1881. The townsite was platted in 1898, and named in honor of Anthony C. Lund. Anthony C. Lund was one of the presidencies in control of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The post office, located in the town office building, was established October 1, 1898. An old bunkhouse was converted into Lund's first schoolhouse the following year. The schoolteacher, Hattie Rapheal continued to teach in Lund for many years. The first church, a two-story log structure, was built in 1903. A more substantial 30-foot by 50-foot cement block church was built in 1908.
The Lund postoffice continues to serve the community.
