Jolon (; Spanish: Jolón; Salinan: Xolon) is small unincorporated village in southern Monterey County, California.[1] Jolon is located in the San Antonio River Valley, west of Salinas Valley.

The origins of Jolon date to 1771, when the Spanish established Mission San Antonio de Padua, under the command of Saint Junípero Serra. The town was officially founded by Californios in 1849, when Antonio Ramírez built an inn as a stop on El Camino Real. Today, most of Jolon is occupied by Fort Hunter Liggett, an army installation.
