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