Delano

Delano combines intensive farming with an influential labor-rights legacy in a way that reflects its position in California’s southern San Joaquin Valley. Vineyards and irrigated fields shape this Kern County city and its broad inland setting. In 1965, Filipino American grape workers began the Delano grape strike; Mexican American workers joined them, and the campaign became a landmark in the US farm-labor movement. The Forty Acres complex, a former United Farm Workers base, preserves part of that history as a National Historic Landmark.
