Lamming Mills is an unincorporated community located on the Canadian National Railway just northwest of McBride, British Columbia. Lamming Mills Post Office opened 23 April 1945 and closed 31 December 1969.
Lamming Mills was originally known as "Cariboo." The name was then changed about 1920 to "Craigbenn" after section foreman D.A. Craig and yard owner J. Bennett. Craigbenn station was renamed "Lamming Mills" on 12 June 1946 in keeping with the name of the post office.
