Nestled within the fertile fields of the southern San Joaquin Valley and surrounded by three scenic mountain ranges lies the California community of Bakersfield.

Bakersfield has grown into a bustling metropolitan area with nearly 500,000 residents while maintaining its small town feeling. The rich heritage of the people in Bakersfield comes from families who have been here for generations, as well as new residents with worldwide experience. Together they make up a community with strong ties to tradition, family and community – a place where you know your neighbors by name.
