Merced, from the Spanish word for "mercy," takes its name from the nearby Merced River. The town's first post office opened in 1870, and Merced was incorporated on April 1, 1889, the same year the county courthouse, now a museum, was built. It lies in the San Joaquin Valley and is known as the Gateway to Yosemite.
More about Merced
During World War II the Merced County fairgrounds became a temporary assembly center for Japanese Americans removed from their West Coast homes under Executive Order 9066. From May 6 to September 15, 1942, 4,669 men, women and children from central California, most of them from Merced County, were confined there before being sent to the Granada internment camp in Colorado.
Since 2005 Merced has been home to the University of California, Merced. Its historic landmarks include the Mainzer Theater, the courthouse museum and the Merced Multicultural Arts Center, and Castle Air Museum, Lake Yosemite and Merced Falls lie nearby.
