==History==
Herlong was built in 1942 to house civilian workers for Sierra Army Depot which was one of several ammunition storage facilities located far enough inland to be safe from Japanese attack. The site also met the requirement that the depot be in a dry and isolated area. Herlong was named after Captain Henry W. Herlong, the first United States Army ordnance officer to die in World War II.〔 The postal stamps, money orders and equipment bore the spelling "Hurlong", which lasted for about five days, when the error was discovered and corrected. Sierra Army Depot now serves as the Army's End of First Life Center and the CONUS-based Army Prepositioned Stock Site while continuing to provide expeditionary logistics support and long-term sustainment solutions.
Since its beginning, the town has varied in size, peaking at about 5,000, in the 1950s (mostly civilian employees on the base), to the current population of 298 (at the 2010 census).
Herlong has several churches including the Bible Baptist Church, an Assembly of God church, and a Southern Baptist church. The Office of Historic Preservation currently lists 62 historic properties in Herlong on its Historic Properties Data File for Lassen County, one of the last counties in the American west that is still considered "open range" land.
