Taft is a city located in Kern County, in the southwestern part of California's San Joaquin Valley. The city's history is deeply intertwined with the oil industry, as it sits atop the Midway-Sunset Oil Field, one of the largest oil reserves in the United States. Founded in the early 1900s, Taft was originally named Moron, before being renamed in honor of President William Howard Taft.

The city's cultural heritage is closely tied to its oil industry roots, which is reflected in local institutions like the West Kern Oil Museum. Despite its industrial background, Taft has developed into a community that preserves its historical significance while serving as a gateway to nearby natural attractions, including the Temblor Range and the Carrizo Plain National Monument.
