Mariposa

Mariposa is best known within the United States for the 1854 Mariposa County Courthouse, a lasting monument to California’s Gold Rush. The town stands in the Sierra Nevada foothills, where Mariposa Creek flows toward the Merced River and oak-dotted slopes rise into higher country. As the seat of Mariposa County, it retains a historic centre shaped by the mining boom that transformed this part of California in the 19th century. The California State Mining and Mineral Museum explores the state’s mineral wealth and Gold Rush legacy. Yosemite National Park lies to the east, placing Mariposa on well-travelled routes through the western Sierra.
