Region & Climate
Groveland, home of the Iron Door Saloon California's oldest continuously running saloon and the neighboring communities in Tuolumne and Mariposa County offer year-round residents and visitors exceptional climate and weather. The region boasts some of the most sun-days in the area by being above the fog line and below most heavy snowfall areas.
History
Groveland and Big Oak Flat were originally part of a small placer mining area discovered by James D. Savage, a California pioneer of 1846. The gold was first found in the waterway later named Rattlesnake Creek, near Big Oak Flat. Both towns are located at 3000 elevation along Highway 120, on the way to Yosemite National Park. Savage founded the towns of Big Oak Flat and Garrote (now Groveland), then collectively known as Savages Diggings in 1849. In 1874, the Big Oak Flat Road to Yosemite was completed as a tourism and freight route linking the San Joaquin River docks in Stockton and the Yosemite Valley. Passing through Big Oak Flat and Garrote, the road, now largely Highway 120 in Tuolumne County, became and remains an important factor in the vitality of the region. The City and County of San Francisco had gained generous rights to the Tuolumne River watershed in 1910 and set its sights on damming the main Tuolumne River as it meandered through Hetch Hetchy, a wide glacial cut valley almost as grand as Yosemite. Evidence of the Hetch Hetchy project can be seen along Highway 120 where four large penstocks descend to Moccasin, adjacent to Priest Grade. Source: Excerpt Tuolumne County Historical Society

History
The Neuman Ranch has been family owned since 1958 and has been maintained in an unspoiled-like manner to a great extent over the years. The property was the site of a since removed Old Spring Gulch School. A portion of the original stagecoach road route runs through a section of the ranch. Nearby Big Oak Flat and Groveland were originally part of a small placer mining area discovered by James D. Savage, a California pioneer of 1846. The gold was first found in the waterway later named Rattlesnake Creek, near Big Oak Flat. Both towns are on the way to Yosemite National Park. Savage founded the towns of Big Oak Flat and Garrote (now Groveland), then collectively known as Savages Diggings in 1849. Big Oak Flat got its name from a large oak located there. The Groveland section of the camp was named Garrote from its reputation of swift and hard justice by way of hangings. In 1874, the Big Oak Flat Road to Yosemite was completed as a tourism and freight route linking the San Joaquin River docks in Stockton and the Yosemite Valley. Passing through Big Oak Flat and Garrote, the road, now largely Highway 120 in Tuolumne County, became and remains an important factor in the vitality of the region. The large Hetch Hetchy (HH) water project's headquarters was in Groveland from 1915 to 1925. The City and County of San Francisco had gained generous rights to the Tuolumne River watershed in 1910 and set its sights on damming the main Tuolumne River as it meandered through HH, a wide glacial cut valley almost as grand as Yosemite. O'Shanghnessey Dam, a key feature of the HH Water and Power project, was constructed at HH. Before the actual dam construction could get underway, the San Francisco project built the HH Railroad extending from the Sierra Railway at the HH Junction, fifteen miles west of Jamestown, and continuing to the dam site. Miles of tunnels were drilled to carry the water 150 miles to reservoirs in the Bay Area. Evidence of the Hetch Hetchy project can be seen along Highway 120 where four large penstocks descend to Moccasin, adjacent to Priest Grade.
