Tipps von Einheimischen
Built in 1854, the Mariposa County Courthouse is the oldest superior courthouse west of the Mississippi and the oldest courthouse in continuous use west of the Rockies. Mariposa County was formed in September 1850, even before California became the 31st State of the Union.
The Mariposa County Courthouse is the oldest courthouse in California and the oldest one west of the Rocky Mountains that is still being used. Since 1851, when Mariposa was a vibrant trading center for miners, the courthouse was the place where landmark mining laws were tried, and consequently, set legal precedent for federal mining law.
