Tollhouse (formerly, Toll House) is an unincorporated community in Fresno County, California.[1] It lies at an elevation of 1,919 feet (585 m).[1] Tollhouse is located in the Sierra Nevada, 7 miles (11 km) southwest of Shaver Lake.[2] It is home to 2,089 people[3].


The town was created in the 1860s around a lumber mill. The name "tollhouse" comes from the fact that the community was also built up in connection to a now-defunct toll road running up the steep slopes of Sarver Peak to Pineridge and housed a toll house.


The ZIP Code is 93667, and the community is inside area code 559.


The first post office opened in Tollhouse in 1876, closed in 1884, re-opened in 1885.[2] The last toll on the toll road was collected in 1878.[2]


Nearby small towns include Auberry, Prather, and Shaver.


Tollhouse is the tribal headquarters for the Cold Springs Rancheria of Mono Indians of California.[4]
