History & History Related Items Waterford history: When the community first began in 1857, it was known as Bakersville after a local resident, William W. Baker. They quickly learned that their name, Bakersville, and the larger town of Bakersfield were being confused, so they needed to change their name. Given its location on the Tuolumne River with no bridge crossing, the local ford of the river there was well known. Hence, in 1870, the name of Waterford was created for the new name. Waterford attractions: Waterford is home to a most unusual attraction known as the Cup Tree. This tree has also been called the Mug Tree. The owner says there are over 2,500 cups attached to the tree. Waterford Historical Museum and Visitors Center Return to Index
