Cherryville originated as a gold mining camp during the 1860s. Prospectors from the Californian Gold Rush identified deposits of gold and silver, subsequently establishing a settlement within the canyon walls of Cherry Creek. The community consisted of approximately 100 residents, including a significant proportion of Chinese miners, all eager to seek prosperity. As additional miners arrived, a narrow road was constructed from Lumby in 1877, facilitating increased access and encouraging families to join the expanding settlement.
The community was officially designated as Cherryville in 1919 following the opening of a post office. The name is attributed to the wild chokeberries that grew along Cherry Creek's banks, as no cherry trees were present in the area. The Cherryville Post Office operated until April 30, 1947.
Notable historic institutions in Cherryville included a hotel, sawmill, general store, hardware store, livery stable, butcher, blacksmith, jewelry shops, and several local schools.
