"Old Town"

History
3
Old Town, the oldest settlement in Tehachapi Valley, was established here during the 1860s and long served as an important station on the road between Southern California and the San Joaquin Valley. The community began to decline after the Southern Pacific Railroad was completed in 1876, as residents gradually moved to nearby Greenwich, later renamed Tehachapi.
