Monoville, California

Monoville is a former settlement in Mono County, California.^[1] It was located about 12 miles (19 km) south-southeast of Bridgeport.^[1]

In 1859, gold was discovered at Monoville.^[1] A conduit was constructed to divert water from Virginia Creek to aid hydraulic mining operations.^[1] This canal, termed the Mono Canal, was at its time the only such project in the county, and cost $75,000 to build.^[2]

A post office operated at Monoville from 1859 to 1862.^[1] At its peak, Monoville had a population over 1,000.^[2] By 1868, however, the town was abandoned and such buildings as remained were in ruins by neglect and lack or repair after heavy snowfalls.^[2]
