HISTORY
Mono County was formed in 1861 from parts
of Calaveras County, Fresno County and Mariposa County. Parts of the county's territory were given to Inyo County
in 1866.
The county is named after Mono Lake which, in 1852, was named for a Native American Paiute tribe that inhabited
the Sierra Nevada from north of Mono Lake to Owens Lake. The tribe's western neighbors, the Yokuts, called them
monachie meaning "fly people" because the pupae of a fly was their chief food staple and trading article.
