City of Tehachapi

Located 45 miles east of Bakersfield, “the Land of Four Seasons” is a winter playground for residents of the valley below. The original community was founded in 1876 when the Southern Pacific Railroad finally succeeded in running rail over the mountain grades.

Prior to that time, “Old Town” as it was called was a small community, drawing its sustenance from miners who washed gold from the sands of China Hill. Though Tehachapi has a varied and rich history, it is a thriving modern town drawing inhabitants from Los Angeles and the high desert areas. These residents find commuting easy as Highway 58 traverses the area connecting with major routes CA 99 and CA 14.
