Mariposita, California

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki


Mariposita, California, was a small California Gold Rush mining camp, populated mostly by Mexican and French miners in the early 1850s.[1] It was located four[2] to seven[3] miles south of Mariposa, California. In the summer of 1852 there was an attempt to drive out the Mexican and French miners.[1][2] Mariposita was possibly destroyed in the anti-foreign miner violence of the time or abandoned due to the tax on those miners.[citation needed].
