Mariposa, the county seat of Mariposa County in central California, is one of the main gateways to Yosemite National Park, a World Heritage Site. Founded in the 1800s during the Gold Rush, the town still has a large number of Victorian buildings and historic districts, and has been described as "one of the oldest unincorporated towns in California". As the southern gateway to Yosemite, Mariposa is an important base for visitors to explore Glacier Point, Sequoia Grove and Yosemite Falls, and is surrounded by spectacular natural landscapes that are popular for hiking and stargazing. In addition, the town is home to the Mariposa Museum, which showcases the history of the local gold rush and Indian culture, blending natural beauty with human heritage, making it a hidden treasure of California tourism.
