Shafter

The southern San Joaquin Valley defines the setting of Shafter — its level, intensively farmed terrain and dry Central California climate shape a community where agriculture remains central to the local economy. Located in Kern County northwest of Bakersfield, the city lies amid fields that reflect the valley’s long role as one of the United States’ major agricultural regions. Shafter takes its name from William Rufus Shafter, a U.S. Army general. Its residential grid, farms and service businesses give it a working-valley character.
