The Mariposa Chronicle is a “New Age” information resource about Mariposa County. It is a “community-based news service” utilizing multimedia technology to report news, events, stories and much more in video format. We envision getting the “community” involved in telling OUR story! Anyone with a 4-G, or later phone, can become a community reporter. We will maintain “editorial” control to assure quality of production and content!

The first newspaper published in Mariposa County first published (Vol. 1. No. 1) on January 20, 1854. This was quite a gala occasion, and the first copy was sought after by many. Within a few months, the Chronicle changed ownership to C. W. Blaisdell and John C. Hopper and subsequently, in the same year, it was purchased by L. A. Holmes, who changed the name, in June 1855, to the Gazette. The last Chronicle published was (Vol. 2, No. 7) on March 2, 1855.
