History

It was on the Rancho Las Mariposas, an 1844 Mexican land grant acquired in 1847 by John C. Frémont. During the California Gold Rush Frémont built a stamp mill at Ridleys Ferry, and renamed it Benton Mills in honor of his father-in-law Senator Thomas Hart Benton.[1]

Thomas E. Ridley operated a ferry across the Merced River at the site from 1850 to 1852.[1]

The settlement endured during the 1850s and 1860s.[1]
