On the banks of Agua Fria, a seasonal stream, the town was originally founded as a mining camp. The original site of the town was approximately 6.0 miles west of Mariposa. The area was home to the Southern Sierra Miwuks before this. The town moved to Mariposa after a flood in winter 1849/50 and fires. This was mainly due to the better terrain and Mariposa creek, which is a major producer of placer gold. The small Aqua Fria creek, which contained gold, was quickly removed. It was dry for most of the year. The population moved to the new boomtown. Mariposa's large mine opened quickly and featured a 40-foot waterwheel that crushed gold ore. Mariposa quickly became the main supply point for hundreds of other mining districts. This created a steady source of employment. The placer gold found in creekbeds or alluvial deposits was quickly extinguished and deep mining became a reality. The county seat for Mariposa was established in 1851. It reached almost Los Angeles. Mariposa was home to a grand courthouse that still exists in 1854. Some say that lumber was cut from the area east of the town, which is known as "Logtown", although no maps or certifiable resources can prove the existence of such a location. Most likely, the lumber used for the courthouse was cut in Midpines where there was an unusually high number of sugar pine trees.
