Mariposa: "Gateway to Yosemite National Park"
Mariposa, "the Mother of Counties", initially encompassed one fifth of the state of California. As the land filled with settlers, boundaries were redrawn until twelve present day counties emerged from the vast area. Today, Mariposa County's legacy from these origins includes an incredible range of landscapes and a heritage of historic sites and towns.
Yosemite Valley's first residents were American Indians who inhabited the region perhaps as long as 6,000 years ago. By the time Euro-Americans entered the Yosemite area in the mid-19th century, the Valley was inhabited by peoples who called Yosemite Valley, "Ahwahnee," which loosely translates into "Place of a Gaping Mouth." The Indians of Yosemite Valley called themselves the "Ahwahneechee." They harvested black oak acorns, hunted and fished, and traded these and other items native to Yosemite Valley, with the Mono Lake Paiute people for obsidian, rabbit skins and pine nuts. Few non-Indians knew of the existence of Yosemite Valley prior to 1851. The discovery of gold in the Sierra Nevada foothills in 1848 brought thousands of gold seekers to the area. By 1851, the continued theft of Indian lands and murder of native people resulted in the Mariposa Indian War. On March 27, 1851, in an attempt to subdue a group of Indian people, the state-sanctioned Mariposa Battalion entered Yosemite Valley. They became the first group of non-Indians to record their entry into the Valley.
Mariposa County was recognized for its importance as the southern extreme of the Mother Lode when the California State Mining and Mineral Museum was established here in the 1980's. For more than 20 years, historic routes have been followed by wagon and horse during the spring ride from Eastern Mariposa County, over Chowchilla Mountain, and on to Mariposa, the County seat. Located in Mariposa town is the Mariposa Museum and HistoryCenter with its celebrated display area showing artifacts of life in Mariposa County from its beginning. The library and collection contains many research works accessed by writers and students of history from all over the world. In Coulterville, is the Northern Mariposa County History Center, displaying many items from the historical past of that part of the county.
