Yosemite Village
Yosemite Village is a popular unincorporated community
in Mariposa County, California. It is located twenty-seven
miles north-east of Mariposa, at an elevation of 3996 feet.
Yosemite Village is the primary human habitation in
Yosemite Valley. Situated along the far north side of the
valley floor, its permanent population includes NPS staff
and some park concession workers. The Village is the site
of some important facilities, such as a fire station, and
the post office (ZIP Code - 95389), a medical clinic, a
park convenience store, some restaurants, park gift shops,
and the park's headquarters and main visitor center. The
Yosemite Lodge is located on the west end of the village
near the Yosemite Falls. The famous Ahwahnee Hotel is a few
blocks to the north. Like the busy and popular Camp Curry,
Yosemite Village is characterized by the old building shed
style architecture making significant use of local native
woods.
In 1869 the Yo Semite post office opened, changed its name
to just the single name "Yosemite" in 1908, and to the
final Yosemite National Park in 1922. In 1906, Major Benson
started the Fort Yosemite at the famous site of what became
the Yosemite Lodge. U.S. Troops and horse cavalry were
stationed at Fort Yosemite until 1916, with the creation of
the new National Park Service.
