The town of Jesus Maria was named after a Mexican farmer who lived in the area and grew melons and vegetables for the local miners. It was the center for a significant placer mining section. Many of the miners were of various backgrounds mostly consisting of Chileans, French, Italian and Mexicans.

Today, Jesus Maria consists of a few families that contribute to a large community garden and a windmill to pump water..
