Delano: KER-99-AT 11TH AVE
Built around a Southern Pacific Railroad station, Delano grew into an agricultural city in Kern County. It stands in California’s San Joaquin Valley, an intensely farmed part of the Central Valley whose orchards, vineyards and fields have long shaped the local economy. Delano holds a defining place in US labor history: in 1965, Filipino grape workers began the Delano grape strike, and Mexican American workers soon joined them. The campaign became central to the farmworker movement and to the rise of the United Farm Workers. State Route 99 runs alongside the city, placing Delano on one of the valley’s principal north–south transport corridors. Its setting is defined less by a compact urban core than by working farmland, rail lines and highway infrastructure.

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.

California occupies a long Pacific coastal belt in the United States. Its terrain ranges from the Sierra Nevada and the fertile Central Valley to deserts in the southeast and the rugged shores of the Pacific Ocean. The state includes both Mount Whitney, the highest point in the contiguous United States, and extensive protected lands such as Yosemite National Park. California’s cities have exerted worldwide influence through film, technology, agriculture, and music; Hollywood remains an enduring symbol of the American screen industry. Its scale means climates and local character can change dramatically from one county to the next. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of California.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
