About Mariposa
Mariposa,first settled in 1849, is the southern most in the Gold Rush chain of towns. The streets follow the original street grid laid out by John C Fremont in 1850. Several disastrous early fires convinced settlers to rebuild with stone, brick and adobe. Consequently, many of today’s existing structures in the historic downtown had been built by the late 1850s, with most of the remaining ones completed by 1900. Because they’ve always been in use, the old buildings haven’t had to be restored or recreated.
Change has come gracefully to Mariposa. You won’t see vintage stage coaches nor actors in period costumes roaming the streets, not even a simulated gun fight. But you also won’t see strip malls or chain stores, and Mariposa remains one of a handful of California counties with nary a stop light.
You’ll find a warm welcome at our lodgings, and small town friendliness in the shops, galleries and restaurants.
Feel the old West as you stroll up the historic main street or take a tour of the 1854 court house, the oldest court house west of the Rockies still in continuous operation. Experience the old days in the exhibits at the Mariposa Museum and History Center, named one of the best small museums in America by the Smithsonian Institute.
