Cerbat's post office was established December 23, 1872 and discontinued June 15, 1912. In the late 1860's, claims in the Cerbat area were found and mining began. Eventually, a town that was to later hold the county seat, sprang up. Cerbat had only about a hundred residents and was very isolated, yet managed to have to doctors and a lawyer. Mining continued into the present century, but the town has since died.
