With a history dating back to 1939, the Mariposa County Fair is a collaborative effort of the community, directors, and staff. Authorized by the California State Legislature in May 1939, the 35th District Agricultural Association held its first annual county fair in October 1939. Governor Olson appointed the first Board of Directors, and George W. Robinson was appointed as the first Secretary-Treasurer. J.M. Loyd of Auburn was retained as the manager of the first annual county fair, and Wilbur White was hired as the grounds superintendent. The first premium list for exhibits offered cash prizes for categories including Horse Show, Livestock, Poultry/Rabbits, Community Booths, Agriculture, Horticulture, Domestic Science, Bees and Honey, Lumber, Minerals, and Future Farmers of America. Over the years, many changes have occurred on the fairgrounds, and the facility has been continually developed and improved. The planning and preparation for today's fair is a year-round effort. The Rodeo is CCPRA (California Cowboys Professional Rodeo Association). Hundreds of events are held year-round on the fairgrounds.
