Delano, Agricultural center in Kern County, United States.
Delano is a city located in Kern County in California's Central Valley. The town spreads across flat terrain surrounded by farmland, with streets that form a regular grid through residential and commercial areas.
The town was founded in 1869 and named after Columbus Delano, who was serving as Secretary of the Interior at that time. It grew from a railroad stop into a center for agricultural production in the region.
The city is deeply rooted in agricultural labor history and the farm worker movements that began here. Today you can see memorials and community spaces that reflect this heritage of activism and workers' rights.
The city is served by local bus routes that connect main areas and destinations. The flat terrain makes walking through many parts of town quite manageable.
In 1965 one of the most important farm worker strikes in American history began here, launching a major boycott movement. This made the place a symbol of workers' rights and social change.
