Yosemite Village (formerly, Yosemite and Yo Semite) is
an unincorporated community in Mariposa County, California.
It is located 27 miles (43 km) northeast of Mariposa, at an
elevation of 3996 feet (1218 m).
Yosemite Village is the primary developed place in Yosemite
Valley. Situated along the north side of the valley floor,
its permanent population includes National Park Service
staff and some concession workers. The Village is the site
of some useful facilities, such as a fire station, a post
office (ZIP Code 95389), a medical clinic, a convenience
store, restaurants, gift shops, and the park's headquarters
facilities and main visitor center. The Yosemite Lodge is
located on the west end of the village near Yosemite Falls.
The Ahwahnee Hotel is a few blocks to the north. Like Camp
Curry, Yosemite Village is characterized by shed style
architecture making heavy use of native wood.
The Yo Semite post office opened in 1869, changed its name
to Yosemite in 1908, and to Yosemite National Park in 1922.
In 1906, Major H.C. Benson started Fort Yosemite at the
site of what became the Yosemite Lodge. Troops were
stationed at Fort Yosemite until 1916, with the creation of
the National Park Service.
