Horstville is a former settlement in Yuba County, California. It was located 2 miles (3.2 km) northeast of Wheatland,[2] at an elevation of 112 feet (34 m).

A post office operated at Horstville from 1898 to 1901.[2] The name is in honor of E. Clemens Horst, local rancher.[2] Horstville was a company town for Horst's farms, where hops were grown and dried; Horstville had a dining hall, store, and worker housing. During Prohibition, when there was no market for hops, Horstville built a fruit cannery which was still standing as of 2009, though little else remains of the town.[3]
