Priest, also known as Priest Station or Priest's Station, is an unincorporated locality 1miles southwest of Big Oak Flat in Tuolumne County, California.[1] [2] [3] It is the eastern terminus of the New Priest Grade and the Old Priest Grade.
The site was established as a stagecoach stop and hotel in 1849; the hotel did good business until it was destroyed in a wildfire in 1926. A motel was later built on the site, replaced by a store and cafe in 2007.[4]
