Owensville (also, Glen Mary) is a former settlement in Inyo County, California.[2] It was located west of the future site of the modern-day town of Laws.[2] Owensville was started as a mining camp in 1863.[2] By 1871 it had been abandoned.[2] The former settlement site is on U.S. Route 6 north of Bishop, California.

A post office operated at Owensville from 1866 to 1870, when it was transferred to Bishop, California (then called Bishop Creek).[2] From 1868 to 1869, the town was called Glen Mary.[2] The site is now registered as California Historical Landmark #230 as the "First Permanent White Habitation in Owens Valley" assigned on June 20, 1935..[1]

The California Historical Landmark reads:

NO. 230 FIRST PERMANENT WHITE HABITATION IN OWENS VALLEY - In August of 1861, A. Van Fleet and three other men drove their cattle into Owens Valley and prepared to stay. A cabin of sod and stone was built at the big bend of the Owens River at the northern end of the valley.[3]
