Owensville (also, Glen Mary) is a former settlement in Inyo County, California.[2] It was located west of the future site of the modern-day town of Laws.[2] Owensville was started as a mining camp in 1863.[2] By 1871 it had been abandoned.[2]
A post office operated at Owensville from 1866 to 1870, when it was transferred to Bishop (then called Bishop Creek).[2] From 1868 to 1869, the town was called Glen Mary.[2] The site is now registered as California Historical Landmark #230 as the "First Permanent White Habitation in Owens Valley".[1]
