Ridgecrest is a city located in the Indian Wells Valley of California's Mojave Desert. The city developed primarily due to its proximity to the Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake, which remains the city's largest employer and a significant influence on local culture. Originally established in 1912, Ridgecrest has grown from a small desert community into a modern city while maintaining strong connections to both its military heritage and the surrounding desert environment.
The area is known for its geological features and has experienced significant seismic activity, including notable earthquakes in 2019. The city serves as a gateway to several natural attractions, including the Maturango Museum which focuses on the natural and cultural history of the Upper Mojave Desert. The local culture reflects a blend of military influence, desert lifestyle, and Native American heritage, particularly that of the Coso People who left significant petroglyphs in the nearby mountains.
