About Oakhurst

Oakhurst is a census-designated place in Madera County, California, situated fourteen miles south of the southern entrance to Yosemite National Park at the junction of Highway 41 and Highway 49. Founded in 1858 as Fresno Flats, the community of approximately 6,100 developed as a cattle stop, later a logging center, and today serves as a primary gateway to Yosemite for travelers from the San Joaquin Valley. Public education is administered by the Yosemite Unified School District, which is headquartered in the community.
