The Tassajara post office operated from 1892 to 1894, followed by the Tassajara Hot Springs Post Office, which was open from 1912 until 1944. A hotel was built at the site between 1893–1894 and the Tassajara Hot Springs resort established at one the 17 or so natural hot springs in the area. The name comes from Tasajera, a Spanish-American word derived from an indigenous Esselen language, meaning "place where meat is hung to dry." It has also been known as Tassajara Springs, Tesahara Springs and on mining claims as Agua Caliente.
