Additional Details:
The county seat of Mono County, located in a valley ringed by snow-covered peaks. Until 1864 Bridgeport was a grass covered valley, in summer, where cattle grazed and snow swept it in the winter. The inhabitants were amazed to learn that their county seat, located at Aurora, was in Nevada. Hurriedly the papers were transferred to a camp along the Walker River, later to be called Bridgeport. Today, with little to no mining, the town subsists on tourist patronage and the farm trade.
