Description:
The name is from a tribe of Indians that lived on the banks of the lower Tuolumne and Stanislaus Rivers, in the vicinity of KnighKroeber, 64) The tribe was called Taulamne-- and also Tahualamne by Padre Munoz (Arch. MSB,, vol 4, OCt 3, 1806, ff). The Morage-Munoz party named the Tuolumne River the Delores, from the time of its discovery, Oct 1, the "Dolores of September:, but that name did not prevail.

Fremont and Preuss, on their 1845 map. mistakenly called the Tuolumne River the "Rio de los Merced:. On the 1848 map, they corrected it to "Rio de los Towalumnes.: The modern spelling is on Derby's 1849 map. It is said that the Indians pronouce the word Tu-ah-lum'-ne. (Sanchez, 222)

The Whitney Survey named Tuolumne Meadows: the name is on Hoffmann and Gardiner's map, 1863067. The falls was first named on Hoffman's 1873 map, the peak on the Wheeler Survey atlas sheet 56D, 1878-79, and the pass on Lt. McClure;s 1896 map. The grove had its name at least as early as the mid-1880's (Hastings, In the Heart, 327). (YNP)
