In 1855 the California legislature attempted to form a county in the area by giving the southeastern territory of Tulare County on the west of the Sierra Nevada Mountains to <a href="/wiki/Buena_Vista_County,_California" title="Buena Vista County, California">Buena Vista County</a>. However, it was never officially organized prior to 1859, when the enabling legislation expired. The south of Tulare County was later organized as Kern County in 1866, with additions from <a href="/wiki/Los_Angeles_County,_California" title="Los Angeles County, California">Los Angeles</a> and <a href="/wiki/San_Bernardino_County,_California" title="San Bernardino County, California">San Bernardino Counties</a>. Its first county seat was the mining town of <a href="/wiki/Havilah,_California" title="Havilah, California">Havilah</a>, in the mountains east of Bakersfield and north of <a href="/wiki/Tehachapi,_California" title="Tehachapi, California">Tehachapi</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Settlers considered the flat land of the valley inhospitable and impassable at the time due to swamps, lakes, tule reeds and diseases such as malaria. This changed when residents started draining land for farming and constructing canals, most dug by hired Chinese laborers. Within 10 years the valley surpassed the mining areas as the economic power of the county, and as a result the county seat was moved from Havilah to Bakersfield in 1874.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

It measured 7.3 on the <a href="/wiki/Moment_magnitude_scale" title="Moment magnitude scale">moment magnitude scale</a> and killed 12 people. In addition to the deaths, it was responsible for hundreds of injuries and more than $60 million in property damage. The main shock was felt over much of California and as far away as Phoenix, Arizona and Reno, Nevada. The earthquake occurred on the White Wolf Fault and was the strongest to occur in California since the <a href="/wiki/1906_San_Francisco_earthquake" title="1906 San Francisco earthquake">1906 San Francisco earthquake</a>. <a href="/wiki/Tehachapi,_California" title="Tehachapi, California">Tehachapi</a> suffered the greatest damage and loss of life from the earthquake, though its effects were widely felt throughout central and southern California. The event had a significant <a href="/wiki/Aftershock" title="Aftershock">aftershock</a> sequence that persisted into July and August with the strongest coming on August 22, an M5.8 event with a maximum perceived intensity of VIII (Severe) and resulted in two additional deaths and an additional $10 million in property damage. Repercussions of the sequence of earthquakes were still being felt in the heavily damaged downtown area of Bakersfield well into the 1990s as city leaders attempted to improve safety of the surviving non-reinforced masonry buildings. </p><p>Following the event, a field survey was conducted along the fault zone with the goal of estimating the peak ground acceleration of the shock based on visually evaluating rock formations and other indicators. Ground disturbances that were created by the earthquakes were also surveyed, both in the valley and in the foothills, with both vertical and horizontal displacements present in the epicenter area. The motion records that were acquired from the event were significant, and a reconnaissance report was recognized for its coverage of the event, and its setting a standard for similar engineering or scientific papers. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Abuse_trials">Abuse trials</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Kern_County,_California&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Abuse trials"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Between 1983 and 1986, several ritual sex ring <a href="/wiki/Kern_county_child_abuse_cases" class="mw-redirect" title="Kern county child abuse cases">child abuse cases</a> occurred in Kern County, resulting in numerous long prison sentences, all of which were overturned—some of them decades later, because the prosecutors had coerced false testimonies from the purported child victims.<sup id="cite_ref-Mean_Justice's_Dirty_Secrets,_Rolling_Stone_Magazine_16-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Mean_Justice's_Dirty_Secrets,_Rolling_Stone_Magazine-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The details of these false accusations are covered extensively in the 2008 documentary <i>Witch Hunt</i>, narrated by <a href="/wiki/Sean_Penn" title="Sean Penn">Sean Penn</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-17" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Geography">Geography</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Kern_County,_California&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Geography"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Kern_County,_California_%E2%80%93_Map_(cropped).png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/33/Kern_County%2C_California_%E2%80%93_Map_%28cropped%29.png/400px-Kern_County%2C_California_%E2%80%93_Map_%28cropped%29.png" decoding="async" width="400" height="189" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/33/Kern_County%2C_California_%E2%80%93_Map_%28cropped%29.png/600px-Kern_County%2C_California_%E2%80%93_Map_%28cropped%29.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/33/Kern_County%2C_California_%E2%80%93_Map_%28cropped%29.png/800px-Kern_County%2C_California_%E2%80%93_Map_%28cropped%29.png 2x" data-file-width="4855" data-file-height="2300" /></a><figcaption>Map of Kern County</figcaption></figure> <p>According to the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Census_Bureau" title="United States Census Bureau">United States Census Bureau</a>, the county has a total area of 8,163 square miles (21,140 km<sup>2</sup>), of which 8,132 square miles (21,060 km<sup>2</sup>) is land and 31 square miles (80 km<sup>2</sup>) (0.4%) is water.<sup id="cite_ref-GR1_18-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-GR1-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>18<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It is the third-largest county by area in California.

Republican strength is found in the foothill, mountain and high desert communities of the county. The cities of Maricopa, Ridgecrest, Taft and Tehachapi are Republican strongholds.
