Fouts Springs is a set of springs that became a resort in the 19th century in Colusa County, California.[2] It lies at an elevation of 1713 feet (522 m). It is best known for being the headquarters of the New Tribes Mission. The post office was established in 1882, closed in 1913, reopened in 1945, closed again in 1947, reopened in 1950 and closed for good in 1956.[3] The place is named for John F.
