Tuolumne County, California
Tuolumne County (pronounced /tuːˈɒləmi/ "To All o' Me", with a silent N) is a county
located in the Sierra Nevada of the U.S. state of California. The northern half of Yosemite
National Park is located in the eastern part of the county. As of 2000 the population was
54,501. The county seat is Sonora, the county's only incorporated city.

Tuolumne County was one of the original counties of California, created in 1850 at the
time of statehood. Prior to statehood, it had been referred to as Oro County. Parts of the
county were given to Stanislaus County in 1854 and to Alpine County in 1864.

The name Tuolumne is of Native American origin and has been given different meanings,
such as Many Stone Houses, The Land of Mountain Lions and, Straight Up Steep, the
latter an interpretation of William Fuller, a native Chief. Mariano Vallejo, in his report to
the first California State Legislature, said that the word is "a corruption of the Indian
word talmalamne which signifies 'cluster of stone wigwams.'" The name may mean
"people who dwell in stone houses,"
