I love the history of the name of this town. Apparently it was founded in part by beekeepers and the word "Mazo" comes from the contraption they used to scare away bears that came down from the nearby mountains to eat the honey. But it was not a mallet as you may be imagining, but rather a gigantic mallet that was moved by the river waters and produced a loud rhythmic noise that scared the greedy bears.
