History
Mapleton was likely named by Julia Ann "Grandma" Bean for the abundance of Bigleaf Maple trees in the area.[6] Grandma Bean's husband was Obediah Roberts Bean, and their eldest child was judge Robert S. Bean.[6] Pioneers of 1852, the Beans moved to the Mapleton area in 1886 and the town was named shortly thereafter.[6] There was a post office called Seaton established north of the locality in 1885, and when it moved to the Mapleton area in 1889, Mrs. Bean became postmaster.[6] The post office was renamed Mapleton to match the town in 1896.[6]
Climate
This region experiences warm (but not hot) and dry summers, with no average monthly temperatures above 71.6 °F (22.0 °C). According to the Köppen Climate Classification system, Mapleton has a warm-summer Mediterranean climate, abbreviated "Csb" on climate maps.[7]
