Named for the butterflies ("mariposas") early explorers saw here, the town grew out of John C. Frémont's Las Mariposas land grant. The Mariposa County Courthouse, built in 1854, is the oldest court of law in continuous operation west of the Mississippi and is on the National Register of Historic Places.
