Region & Climate
Coulterville offers year-round residents and visitors desirable climate and weather. Yosemite travelers can opt to take Highway 132, aka the Historic John Muir Trail, through Coulterville and along a scenic, laid back route to the Sierra wonderland, or travel the nearby Ca-120 entrance leading you through the charming historic town of Groveland and into a sportspersons' paradise. The region has a rich history in the gold mining era and continues to provide a Gold Country feel in the surrounding nearby communities. The Mother Lode is a narrow belt of land in east-central California ranging in elevation between 700 and 3,000 feet. Called La Veta Madre The Mother Vein by Mexican miners, it runs along the western slope of the Sierra Nevada for about 250 miles between Mariposa and Sierra City and encompasses some of the most beautiful scenery in the state. From gently rolling, chaparral-covered foothills, alive with wildflowers in the spring and lion-colored grasses in summer, to slender river gorges and wooded valleys, the scenery offers pure visual delights.
History
Coulterville is an authentic California gold rush town that was too tough to die. During its heyday, it was a major gold mining and supply center. Coulterville remains filled with historic buildings and memories of the '49ers and has been designated the California State Historical Landmark No. 332. Coulterville also serves as the base point of the John Muir Highway. George and Margaret Coulter traveled by covered wagon from Pennsylvania to California in 1849. Learning that the large number of placer miners seeking their fortunes in the three local creeks had to travel 30 miles over rough trails to get supplies, Coulter purchased a large supply of merchandise and opened business in a large blue canvas tent over which he conspicuously flew the American flag. The tent soon became a landmark to the nearly two thousand miners in the area and they called the place Banderita or Little Flag. In 1852 the discovery of gold caused the community to grow rapidly. On March 5, 1872, the name of the town was changed to Coulterville to honor its founder. The lore of gold drew miners from around the world. The Sun Sun Wo Co. Store, built of adobe in 1851, is all that remains of that area of town. Boasting to have had the crookedest railroad in the world, the original Whistling Billy locomotive now stands under the local hangman's tree next to the museum. Across the street stands the Jeffery Hotel, whose 30 thick walls, made of rock and clay binder, date back to 1851. The connecting Magnolia Room is an authentic early day saloon. In its heyday, there were twenty-five saloons and 10 hotels scattered around town. In the late 1800'S, Coulterville became a popular stopover for Yosemite bound tourists. The first paved route into Yosemite National Park ran through Coulterville, bringing the horseless carriage. This route, via Coulterville County Road 132, is still one of the shortest and most scenic ways to travel to Yosemite National Park.
