Ford City, located in Kern County in central California, is a small, quiet farming community in the heart of the Central Valley, about 20 miles from Bakersfield. Founded in the early 1900s, the community was named for the early industries associated with the Ford Motor Company, and today is dominated by the cultivation of grapes, citrus, and other crops, with the area retaining a typical small-town Valley feel and a leisurely pace of life. Surrounded by rich oil resources, the local economy is supported by both the agricultural and energy industries. Despite its small population (approximately 4,000), the area has a strong community atmosphere, and the annual agricultural fair and local festivals attract neighborhood residents, making it an ideal place to experience rural life in the California Valley.
