Ahwahnee

Ahwahnee is a census-designated place (CDP) in Madera County, California, United States. It lies in the western foothills of the Sierra Nevada at an elevation of 2,326 feet (709 m), about 5.25 miles (8.45 km) west of Yosemite Forks. The population was 2,296 at the 2020 United States census. Historically a midway stop on the Raymond–Wawona stagecoach route to Yosemite, Ahwahnee later became the site of the Tri-County Tuberculosis Sanatorium, which operated from 1919 to 1969. The area includes Ahwahnee Hills Regional Park, on the former sanatorium grounds, and Wassama Round House State Historic Park, a reconstructed Miwok ceremonial site.
