Bakersfield is a city near the southern end of the San Joaquin Valley, located in Kern County, California. It is located smack in the middle between Los Angeles and Fresno and is currently the 11th fastest growing city in the state of California with a population of over 250,000. However, recent estimates put the city's population at over 353,000, making it the 58th largest city in the US in terms of population. Bakersfield was first known as Kern Island to the few people who settled there in 1860; however, it was renamed Bakersfield in 1869 after Colonel Thomas Baker, who came to the area during the California Gold Rush. In 1873 it was incorporated as a city and in 1874 it replaced Havilah as the county seat of Kern County. In 1952 the city was ravaged by an earthquake, and while the damage was severe the city has made a resounding comeback and is currently in the midst of a major urban renewal project.
The city is typical of a Californian city, especially in the Southern half, with hot, dry summers and cooler, shorter winters. During the summer months, typical daily highs hit around 97 degrees, with temperatures over 100 not uncommon; overnight lows drop to around 70 degrees. During the winter, things tend to cool off, with average highs topping out around 55 degrees and overnight lows often around 40 degrees.
