The
area which now constitutes Mono County, California, was, prior to the coming
of the white man, a spiritually sacred place to the Paiute Indians. "Mono"
in Paiute means "beautiful", which aptly describes this highly scenic
area. Its topography is generally rugged, particularly along its northern sector
where some of the Sierra Nevada peaks reach to over 12,000 feet. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Precipitous
canyons, crags, perennial snowflakes, and hot springs are interspersed with
a myriad of clear mountain streams and lakes. Wide valleys support intensive
ranching, as well as providing a pastoral foreground to the rugged and scenic
Sierra. |

The
town of Bridgeport developed primarily as a trade and supply center for the
gold mining camps scattered throughout the area. Its early importance was as
a logging town supplying building materials and mining timber for Aurora, Masonic
and Bodie. It became the Mono County seat, and today boasts of having the second
oldest courthouse in California. |
