Towns & Villages in Mono County<\/h2>\n

Mammoth Lakes is Mono County’s only incorporated municipality; every other place below is unincorporated, ranging from active census-designated places (CDP) to historic mining camps that are little more than a name on a map today (Unincorp.). The county’s own name-origin story runs through this list — Mono Lake, Mono City and Mono Mills all take their name from the Monache people the county itself is named for.<\/p>\n

Several of these places are gold- and silver-mining camps from the 1860s–1880s boom era — Bodie, Dogtown, Lundy, Mono Mills and Montgomery City — and today have no year-round residents; Bodie survives as a California State Historic Park, preserved under a policy of “arrested decay.” Chalfant, June Lake Junction, Twin Lakes and Virginia Lakes are grouped here as single entries even though the old scrape listed some names twice.<\/p>\n
