He was nicknamed “The Colonel” by his friends, even though he had never been in the military.
In 1849 he moved to Tuolumne County to do a little prospecting.
The Gold Rush was on.
He did very well for himself.
In the 1850s he came to Merced county where he purchased 15 thousand acres right next to the Merced river, that’s what’s behind me.
He had 15-hundred head of cattle, 3 thousand sheep, one of the nicest homes in the Central Valley.
It was clear he was one of the wealthiest men, if not THE wealthiest in Merced County.
He got married.
He had three children.
And in 1907, after living a full life, he finally passed away.
It was the next year that the post office opened and took the name to honor the man nicknamed “The Colonel”, James Stevinson.
And now Stevinson is on the map of Merced County.
