A post office, located on the east side of the San Francisco and North Pacific railroad tracks,[3] operated at Pieta from 1891 to 1897.[2] The name allegedly honors a local Native American chief.[2] In 1891 a toll road was built at Pieta that led to Lake County.[4] In 1896 the California Camera Club planned an outing to Pieta to photograph the "picturesque" scenery.[5] In the 1900s, Hopland and Pieta were rivals for the traffic that came with mail delivery and stage service.[6] Pieta was the rail stop for travelers to Bartlett Springs spa, which offered "medicinal soda magnesia baths".[7] Stages connected from Pieta to Bartlett Springs, Highland Springs, Kelseyville, Soda Bay, and Lakeport.[8] At least one proposed-but-never-built railroad through Lake County intended to use the Pieta stage stop as a terminus and then follow the old stage route along Pieta Creek.[9]
