History of Mariposa County
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.
Mariposa Town Center
Recent investments in Mariposa Villages has renewed interest on our historic buildings and creating new business opportunities. The boom is drawing more retail customers, from a growing daytime workforce and tourists to those seeking daytime activities and after-hours entertainment.
