Mariposa was founded as a mining camp in the 1800s. After an 1850 flood the town moved about six miles to its present day location. Due to the presence of Mariposa creek, Mariposa became a large producer of placer gold. The large Mariposa mine included a 40-foot waterwheel that crushed gold ore. Mariposa soon became the supply hub for hundreds of outlying mining districts.
