About Madera County
Madera County lies at the geographic center of California, and was formed in 1893 from the southern portion of Mariposa County. "Madera" is Spanish for "wood" and is named after the county's first industry, which included a massive log flume built in 1876 by the California Lumber Company and used to move timber many miles from the mountains down to the railroad.
