Tuolumne County is one of California’s original 27 Counties and it was organized in 1850. The name Tuolumne is of Native American origin and has been given different meanings, such as Many Stone Houses, The Land of Mountain Lions, and Straight Up Steep. Prior to the official naming of counties by the state, Tuolumne was sometimes referred to as Oro County.

In 1848 gold was discovered in Tuolumne County, and like many areas in California’s Gold Country, this brought thousands of prospectors, who founded such Gold Rush towns as Columbia, Jamestown (then called “Jimtown”) and Sonora, all of which still remain today. With advances in mining equipment, a second Gold Rush occurred in the 1890s, but by then the riches of the county began to extend beyond all that glitters.

In the vast Sierra Nevada forests to the east, timber became a significant commercial commodity and led to the establishment of such present-day towns as Twain Harte and the town of Tuolumne. Cattle ranches and apple orchards also evolved into viable entities contributing to the area’s economy. And now due to breath- taking natural views and a history traced to frontier days, tourism has become an important part of this growth. With its beautiful, varied scenery and colorful past, the diversity of Tuolumne County has provided settings for more than 300 movies, television shows and commercials filmed there since 1919.

The Stanislaus National Forest, Yosemite National Park, and other surrounding areas provide incredible natural vistas and settings for hiking, water skiing, horseback riding, rafting, camping, snowmobiling, boating, snow skiing, fishing and other outdoor activities. But that is not all, manmade attractions abound, as well. Seven restored historic hotels, golf courses, numerous gourmet restaurants, wineries, train rides, casinos, seven museums, two state historic parks, two live theaters and many charming bed-and-breakfasts are among the many other attributes that make the county a true year round vacation destination.
