The landscape around Groveland is dry, oak-dotted Sierra Nevada foothill country, which has shaped both the town’s compact form and a local economy tied to Yosemite-bound travel. Set along California Highway 120 in Tuolumne County, the community is a principal approach to Yosemite National Park’s Big Oak Flat Entrance and lies near Stanislaus National Forest. Groveland grew during the California Gold Rush, and its historic core still includes the Iron Door Saloon, established in 1852. The surrounding foothills combine reminders of Gold Rush settlement with forests and granite terrain farther east.
