Bakersfield has a population of about 213,000 (1998). Colonel Thomas Baker founded Bakersfield in 1869. In 1889, a fire almost destroyed the entire town. As a result, much of Bakersfield was modernized (according to 1890 standards, of course). Oil was also discovered here in 1889. The oil continued to produce and fuel the economy in the area. Bakersfield is the county seat of Kern County, one of the largest counties in the state. Wineries produce nearly 25% of all wine in the state. In the spring, you can be treated to a beautiful display of colorful flowers and the natural landscape of the Sequoia National Forest. Interested in visiting Bakersfield?
