Omira is an unincorporated community in Lassen County, California.[1] It is located on the Western Pacific Railroad 2.25 miles (3.6 km) west-northwest of Constantia,[2] at an elevation of 4347 feet (1325 m).[1]
A post office operated at Omira from 1910 to 1911 and from 1915 to 1918.[2] The town was named by railroad officials for a woman who promised to build a church there if the town were named for her.[2]
The Omira station closed in 1927.[3]
