Avenal

Avenal combines the working character of an oil-and-farming community with the wide-open scale of the western San Joaquin Valley, reflecting its position between irrigated farmland and California’s Coast Ranges. In Kings County, the city sits on State Route 269 west of Interstate 5, in a landscape shaped by dry summers and intensive agriculture. Petroleum extraction has also been central to the local economy, giving Avenal a different profile from many valley towns. Avenal State Prison, opened in 1987, is one of the city’s major public institutions. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across California.
