It was named after A. L. Mohler, who was once president of the Union Pacific Railroad.[1] The first post office in the area was established in 1897 and named "Balm".[4] It was along Foley Creek about two miles southeast of present-day Mohler.[4] In 1911 the name was changed to Mohler at the request of E. E. Lytle, who built the Pacific Railway and Navigation Company line into that part of the county.[4] The post office was moved to the present locale of Mohler at the same time as the name change and operated there until 1959.[4]
