Imola was an unincorporated community in Napa County, California.[1] It lies at an elevation of 7 feet (2 m).[1] Imola was located on the Southern Pacific Railroad, 1.25 miles (2.0 km) south of Napa.[2]

The Imola post office opened in 1920, and closed in 1953.[2]

Imola was the site of the Napa State Hospital (originally housing people diagnosed "insane"). Imola was named for Imola in Italy, which also hosted an insane asylum.[2] In 1948, Imola was described as a "house of hope" in which patients were able to build skills working in the agricultural and industrial activities supported by the hospital.[3] Imola was later annexed to the city of Napa.
