Etna was established in 1865 when the mill on site began processing silver ore from nearby mines. The following year, there was a general store, an additional mill, a livery stable, surveyor's office, post office and ferry service across the Humboldt River. By 1866, one mill had been dismantled and moved to another town and the remaining mill was closed. For the remainder of the decade, milling continued off and on in a limited way. By 1872.
