Welcome to
TEHACHAPI!
The Greater Tehachapi Chamber of
Commerce welcomes you to Tehachapi!
The beautiful Tehachapi Valley is an oasis
located in the mountains between the San
Joaquin Valley and the Mojave Desert,
offering a cool haven from the arid desert
heat and the sprawling lowlands of the
valley. Featuring sparkling blue skies that
turn into star filled nights with unending
depth, the beauty of Tehachapi is seen
in every setting. The diversity of the area
offers something for everyone, small town
neighborhoods, mountains filled with oak
and pine trees sheltering the most rustic to
the most luxurious homes, sprawling ranches
and everything in between, all beautifully
displayed in the splendor of four wonderfully
distinct seasons.
Whether you are here to enjoy one of our
fun-filled festivals or you are thinking of
relocating to Tehachapi, you will find our

HISTORY OF TEHACHAPI
The Tehachapi community (Greater
Tehachapi) is a mountain valley district
including 50,000 acres of level land,
embracing the Tehachapi, Brite, Cummings
and Bear valleys, all with altitudes near 4,000
feet.
The first known people to occupy the
Tehachapi area were the American Indians
known as the Kawaiisu (or, as they called
themselves, Nu-oo-ah, meaning the People.)
The first permanent white settlers were John
Moore and Amanda Brite, who came to the
Tehachapi Valley in the fall of 1854 from
Texas and three years later moved to Brite
Valley, which bears their name.
Other settlers like Grant P. Cuddeback,
George Cummings and William C. Wiggins
soon arrived on the scene and began raising
cattle, hay and grain. They also developed a
lumber trade.
Miners such as Peter D. Greene and John
Hendrickson drifted into the Tehachapis and
did some gold mining, but the real “gold”
was found in the limestone deposits of the
area. Kilns were soon built to burn the lime.
A small community known as Williamsburg
sprung up in the area of the present Golden
Hills in the 1860s. For a time this community
was also known as Tehichipa. Another town
site was established by P.D. Greene. This
second site was known as Greenwich and was
located several miles east of Williamsburg/
Tehichipa. In 1876, the Southern Pacific
Railroad came to the Tehachapi Valley and
laid out its own town site named Tehachapi.
Eventually, the businesses and people moved
to Tehachapi and the former communities
faded away.
The railroad engineers needed a long, level
region at the top of the climb suitable for
switching engines and rail cars. Such land
was available at and near the Tehachapi site,
and the summit about two miles east of the
depot. The famed Tehachapi Loop made
it possible for the trains to climb from the
San Joaquin Valley and proceed through
Tehachapi to Mojave, Los Angeles, Barstow
and other eastern destinations.
Much of the soil in the local valleys is a
rich, decomposed granite and vegetable
silt, deep and wonderfully productive.
Old publications describe Tehachapi as “A
location par excellence for the fruit grower.”
Orchard production and agriculture began
to flourish and the cement industry became
a vital economic asset of the new community.
These operations still continue. In addition,
the persistent winds through the Tehachapi
Pass have enabled nearby wind farms to
become one of the world’s leading producers
of electrical power from wind energy.
In 1909, the Tehachapi settlement was
incorporated, and the town of Tehachapi
was legally established. An act of the state
legislature changed the town’s official name
to city of Tehachapi in 1946.
In 1932, the first state women’s prison
was built in Cummings Valley. A 7.7
earthquake in 1952 did major damage to
the city, including the prison. The inmates
were moved to Frontera. In 1953, the state
repaired the facility and made it a branch of
the California Institution for Men at Chino.
In the mid-1960s, a new medium security
facility was built at Tehachapi. In the mid1980s, two maximum security prisons were
constructed. In 1998, the prison, now known
as the California Correctional Institution
(CCI), was annexed into the city. CCI is
currently the largest employer in the region,
with almost 1,700 persons on its payroll.
The building of Highways 58 and 14 placed
Tehachapi within a one-hour commute of
Bakersfield, Lancaster and Edwards Air Force
Base. Because of a favorable climate, many
working in these other areas wished to live
near Tehachapi. This led to the development
of the nearby communities of Golden Hills,
Bear Valley Springs, Stallion Springs and
Sand Canyon. Today, when one says Greater
Tehachapi, it includes all these additional
communities and many more county
residents as well.

Some historical facts
about Tehachapi…
• Was the first settlement to celebrate the Fourth of July in Kern County
HERITAGE
• Was at the confluence of five rivers, millions of years ago
• Is the location of fiver major global air currents
• Has been the training grounds for many pilots and astronauts
The Tehachapi Museum is housed in the circa 1931 art deco building originilly built to house a branch of the
Kern County Library.
THE TEHACHAPI
HERITAGE LEAGUE
MUSEUM
The Tehachapi area has an extraordinarily rich
past that spans the story of the American West
from pre-history, Native American culture,
early exploration by mountain men, padres,
the Spanish ranchers and cowboys, through
mining, railroading, farming, ranching, early
aviation, wind energy and more, including the
historic California Gold Rush. The Tehachapi
Museum tells Tehachapi’s wonderful stories.
Old-timers and newcomers alike come to
hear, see, and touch the stories that make a
community unique, stories that enrich people
with the knowledge, humor and grit that
created this community and inform its future.
The oldest house in town, the Errea House
Museum, is located across the street at 310 S.
Green Street. It is named for a Spanish Basque
family who lived there for over 70 years. It is
open during regular museum hours as a house
museum showing a working class family’s way
of life, circa 1900 to 1930.
A brochure for a Walking Tour of historic
buildings and homes is available at the
Chamber as well as the Museum. The 1 to
1½ hour walking tour lets you see up close
the small town charm of Tehachapi and passes
by small downtown businesses where you can
stop for refreshments or to shop with small
town merchants.
The newly renovated Tehachapi Museum
is chock-full of items that will spark the
imagination. You will find the femur of a
mammoth (from the Ice Age), opium tins
(from the railroad construction camps of the
1870s), a textile gallery that features clothing
and household items, fossilized sharks teeth
and a recreated blacksmith shop, complete
with a one-horse drawn buggy. Photos show
the devastation of on of the most powerful
earthquakes in U.S. history, which virtually
destroyed Tehachapi. You will see the actual
mercantile store clock on display, that stopped
at the exact time of the 1952 quake and that’s
probably as close as you’ll want to get to that
piece of our history. Photos show herds of
sheep and cattle on Curry Street, being driven
to the railroad stockyards.
In a new addition to the Museum, the
Mark and Jessie Milano Gallery houses an
informative exhibition that showcases the
history and culture of the Kawaiisu tribe, the
Native Americans who inhabited this area for
thousands of years before the coming of the
white settlers and explorers.
One of many focused exhibits, this view shows a display
on the history of schools and churches in Tehachapi.
There are changing artifacts and photos
exhibited on a regular basis, and always
something different to see. Organizations and
tour groups are welcome; please call if you
wish a special tour outside regular operating
hours. In addition, special tours can be
arranged for any age school group.

THE
HISTORIC
ERREA HOUSE
The Tehachapi Heritage League
purchased the Errea House in 1999 and
has since worked to raise funds for its
renovation. A new roof, repairs to the
foundation and porch, air conditioning
and heat, rewiring and a newly
refurbished kitchen were completed
last year. The 1920s kitchen has just
been refurbished with linoleum,
wood wainscoting and reproduction
wallpaper. It contains many vintage
items from local donors and cabinets
from a local farmhouse.
HERITAGE
The charming Errea House Museum, at
311 S. Green Street, is the oldest house
in Tehachapi. Listed on the National
Register of Historic Places, it takes its
name from the Errea family, whose
Basque immigrants and descendents
lived in the house for many decades.
The Errea House was constructed in
the 1870s in the original town site of
Williamsburg or Tehichipa, in the Old
Town area. It was moved to its present
location on log rollers around 1900,
after the railroad chose a route through
what is the current city of Tehachapi.
The Errea House kitchen has been restored to its 1920’s charm.
Additional improvements have been
made recently in the parlour and the
bedrooms. The Errea House is currently
open during regular museum hours
and for special occasions. Tehachapi’s
only public garden, the old – fashioned
1900-era Errea Garden is also open to
the public during daylight hours.
The restored Errea House is a window
to the past, depicting the lifestyle
of a working-class family living in
Tehachapi during the 1900s to the
early 1930s. In addition to the ongoing
renovations, which take place as funds
become available, the Heritage League
also accepts donations of clothing and
furnishings to be used to furnish the
Errea House as a Historical House
Museum.

The Errea House, the front porch, and the
Errea Garden can be rented for private
functions. For more information on the use of
the Errea House, please call Charles White at
661-972-0958.
The Errea House portrays the rural life found in a small California ranching and agricultural town, circa 1900 to 1930. The
Errea Garden is open during all daylight hours and is the only public garden in Tehachapi, featuring colorful views, year
round.

HERITAGE
THE TEHACHAPI DEPOT
RAILROAD MUSEUM
AND COLLECTION
Garden where the Stokoe Railroad Signal
Collection is displayed. The signals have
been lovingly restored by volunteers of the
Friends of the Tehachapi Depot.
Re-built in 1904 by the Southern Pacific
Railroad, the Depot is a standard Southern
Pacific Railroad design known as Plan
No. 23. Only six depots are left and the
Tehachapi Depot is the only one still situated
at its original building site. It is also one of
the few buildings that remained standing
after the 1952 Tehachapi earthquake. The
Depot is listed in the National Register of
Historic Places.
The Museum houses several large collections
of historic railroad artifacts, including
antique railroad maintenance equipment
and tools, dinnerware, signs and other
railroadiana, plus stories and photographs of
the men and women who built the railroad
and whose lives were affected by it.
The Union Pacific Railroad handed keys of
the Depot to the City of Tehachapi in 2005.
Work began soon thereafter to restore the
building to its original condition. On June
13, 2008, with restoration work very nearly
complete, tragedy struck and the Depot was
completely destroyed by fire.
In June 2008, the Tehachapi City Council
announced their decision to rebuild. The
original floor plans were used to ensure
that the new Depot matched the original.
Construction was completed in November
2009 and includes a new viewing platform
on the north side of the building adjacent
to the train tracks. A special feature of the
park-style landscaping is the Railroad Signal
The Museum also contains a gift shop with
souvenirs, books and memorabilia.
TELLING THE STORY
The coming of the railroads changed the
entire world overnight. At the time that the
railroads first came into public use in the
early 1800’s, horseback was the fastest means
of personal transportation, and the only way
to move heavy items was by ship or slow
moving ox-cart. A trip that had previously
taken months on uncomfortable and rutty
roads now took just days on smooth twin
bands of iron, an order of magnitude increase
in speed and efficiency. In addition, the
railroads fostered numerous innovations that
still impact our lives directly.
Far from just a collection of artifacts,
the Tehachapi Depot Railroad Museum
16 | GREATER TEHACHAPI CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
showcases the impact of the railroad on local
history and tells the story of those who built
and maintained the road. From the hard
working Chinese immigrant laborers who
helped construct the tunnels and the loop, to
the track men, switch men and maintenance
workers that kept the line in good order for
the dedicated engineers and firemen, the
story of the railroad is vast and touches all
walks of life.
In the Depot, you will encounter the romance
of the rail as it was during the golden age of
travel and see how it has remained a vital part
of our modern society as part of a supply
chain that extends around the world.
See a time line of significant events, stories
from railroad employees, historic photos,
personal artifacts, engineering innovations,
models and more. Learn about the histories
of people who came with the railroad. Touch

HERITAGE
TEHACHAPI LOOP
The railroad was built over Tehachapi
Pass from Caliente to Mojave in 1876
and is considered an outstanding
engineering feat. The track climbs 3,600
feet in 50 track miles from Bakersfield
to Tehachapi using “S” curves back and
forth up the Tehachapi Creek watershed.
At one point just above Keene, the
engineer, William Hood, built a large
continuous curve which brought the
track back over itself and has become
known as the Tehachapi Loop. This

PRCA RODEO
…50 YEARS N
STILL BUCKIN
STRONG
Celebrating 50 years of providing
our community and the surrounding
communities of Kern County with quality
rodeo entertainment the Tehachapi Mountain
Rodeo Association announces our 2013
PRCA rodeo held on Friday, August 16th at
7:00 p.m. and Saturday, August 17th at 6:00
p.m. at the Tehachapi Event Center and Rodeo
Grounds at 601 South Dennison Road.
Cowboys from across the country will come
to compete for points toward the PRCA finals
and big cash payout purses in grueling events
like bronc riding, steer wrestling, team roping
and bull riding. Lighting fast Cowgirls will be
taking razor sharp turns around the barrels
down to the finish line. The adrenaline will
be pumping as bullfighters and barrel men
will serve as bodyguards for bull riders aboard
the muscle and fury of a 2000-pound bull for
a wild 8-second ride. Once again, Salt River
Rodeo Co. will provide world-class stock that
will be bucking hard and kicking high to
assure plenty of rodeo excitement.
The gates open 2 hours early so our rodeo fans
can pick a seat on our wonderful new arena
bleachers where every spot affords our viewers
with great rodeo action. The TMRA PRCA
Rodeo is held in conjunction with the annual
Tehachapi Mountain Festival. Both events
promise action packed activities full of family
fun.
We will again feature a dance after the rodeo
benefiting a local children’s cancer foundation,
Small Miracles. The price for the dance is
$10 and all proceeds will go directly to Small
Miracles.
The Tehachapi Rodeo began as a youth rodeo
and evolved into an adult amateur rodeo. In
1985, the rodeo joined the ranks of what
now includes over 900 rodeos in 48 states
and 4 Canadian Provinces as a pro rodeo
sanctioned by the PRCA (Professional Rodeo
Cowboy’s Association) and is celebrating its
18th year as a Ram Truck sponsored Rodeo.
Our association boasts a large group of truly
committed volunteers who spent countless
hours to create an event that provides quality
family style entertainment at affordable
prices. We are motivated by a deep love for
the community, the sport of professional
rodeo, our desire to showcase true Western
Americana celebrating the “Western Way of
Life”.
20 | GREATER TEHACHAPI CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
The tickets for the Rodeo can be purchased
for a presale $2 discount prior to the day
of the rodeo at our local ticket outlets in
Tehachapi Albertsons, Hemme Hay and
the Tehachapi Chamber of Commerce. The
Emporium Western Store in Bakersfield as
well as the Boot Barn in both Bakersfield and
Lancaster will also have our rodeo tickets for
sell.

Tehachapi Mountain Rodeo Association
In 1971 the event was held in conjunction
with the July 4th events, but in 1972 was
moved back to August. Events included a
barbecue, parade, air show and art show.
In 1973 the parade included camels for the
dignitaries as riders, including Congressman
Bill Ketchum as a rider.
When the town’s centennial came in 1976
(celebrating the arrival of the railroad) the
event was even bigger, with Congressman
Ketchum as grand marshal. Aggie Davis was
name Citizen of the Year for her volunteer
work “above and beyond the call of duty.”
Taking notes from a 1968 Mountain Festival
brochure that East Kern Historian Marion
Deaver saved, and from a Tehachapi history
writings by Aggie Davis we learn that an
event to celebrate the community actually
began as a fruit festival.
HISTORY OF THE
MOUNTAIN FESTIVAL –
50 YEARS IN THE MAKING
Susan Wiggins
As Tehachapi prepares to celebrate 50 years
of the Mountain Festival it is good to take a
look back and see how it all began.
New features were added in 1979, including
a cow chip throwing contest, fiddlers contest,
and donkey baseball!
The name Mountain Fruit Festival was given
to the event in September of 1964. It was
sponsored by the Tehachapi Businessmen’s
Association and involved are service clubs
and the city council.
One of the goals of the event was to promote
the city and its businesses, which would
ultimately bring in tourism for the area.
Various chairmen served including Kern
Davis, Herb Snyder and Barney Perez.
The first queen to preside was Rhonda
Wright, followed in 1965 by Mary Cazares.
The initial budget was $1,100 for the three
day festival.
In 1967 the event was moved to August,
hoping for better weather and better
attendance since school was still out. The
name was changed to Tehachapi Mountain
Festival®, which still remains today.
In 1968 the committee decided it would
be good to have an air show in addition to
the art show, but the committee sought the
assistance of the city council and funds were
provided for the first air show. The city and
the chamber of commerce helped subsidize
the events each year.
A Little Britches Rodeo was held each year,
and events were added to Central Park, with
the Tehachapi Theater Group putting on
events. Wooden Indians made by inmates
at the California Correctional Institute were
put there to provide directions to each event.
The parade continued to grow with local
bands, equestrian riders, and floats. The
rodeo became a huge success, and there were
90 booths in the park that year.
1980 was listed as the biggest and most
successful festival to date with over 10,000
visitors in the park, and 100 entries in the
parade.
When the festival kicks off this August 1618, the Greater Tehachapi Chamber of
Commerce will expect well over the 10,000
visitor mark, over 30,000 people will be in
attendance for the weekend.
In addition to the parades, rodeo, Central
Park Craft Show, carnival and other events
the downtown and other areas will be packed
with tourists and visitors, boosting the local
economy and making the festival a success
for everyone.
Hope we see you there. . .

A carnival and musical revue was added in
1974 in the park, along with a gunfighter
show, whiskerino awards, and motorcycle

MURALS DEPICT
TEHACHAPI’S
UNIQUE HISTORY
The Tehachapi Main Street Murals
Committee has been hard at work over the
last ten years, raising funds and planning a
series of historical murals to showcase the rich
history of the Tehachapi Valley. In 2011, the
tenth mural will be completed, to cover a wall
of Centennial Plaza on Green Street. It will
commemorate the historic BeeKay Theatre,
a converted 1932 Art Deco movie house that
now serves as the home for the Tehachapi
Community Theatre (TCT).
The murals are meant to beautify the
downtown area, showcase the history of the
area for local residents, and serve as a historical
guide for visitors to Tehachapi. The Murals
Committee made a commitment early on to
produce only first quality murals,
and Tehachapi now has a wellrespected murals program. The first
mural, featuring the world famous
Tehachapi Loop, was designed by
nationally known trompe l’oeil
artist John Pugh, completed with
the help of his associate, Mark
Spykerbos.
The second mural features a street
dance held in 1915 when the first
electric streetlights were installed in
Tehachapi. Phil Slagter, another well-known
mural artist used original photos from 1915
to design and paint the mural. Faces of current
local residents, and those from the history of
Tehachapi were incorporated into the scene.
At the time, Slagter lived nearby, in Canyon
Country, but has since moved to Montana.
Native American Nuooah or Kawaiisu tribe.
It incorporates a village scene from before
contact with the white man and portraits
around the perimeter show more recent
members and elders of the tribe, as well as
the type of baskets for which the local Indians
were known.
At the Apple Shed Restaurant, the T-Hacha-P
mural was designed by master artist Art
Mortimer, who sketched the mural on the
wall to scale and mixed all the paints. Then
Tehachapi was fortunate to have Visalia artist
Colleen Mitchell-Veyna to paint “People
of the Mountains,” depicting Tehachapi’s

15 local artists did the actual painting in one
day, starting at 8 am and continuing until 5
pm. at that time, the scaffolding was whisked
away, the area cleaned up, and a dedication
was held.
Local artist Lyn Bennett designed and painted
the Blacksmith Shop mural, taken from an
actual photograph of a circa 1900 blacksmith
shop, located directly across the street. She
was assisted by Brenda Anderline.
The Avelino Martinez mural depicts this
legendary Tehachapi resident who worked as
a groom for the notorious Joaquin Murrieta
horse gangs that rounded up stray horses
and other livestock to take back to Mexico.
Martinez settled in Cummings Valley and
lived to be 113 to 115 years old, according
to various accounts. It was painted by Patti
Doolittle.
A mural commemorating the first Air Mail
flight from Tehachapi to Bakersfield on May
19, 1938 was painted by Tehachapi artist
Mark Pestana at the Green Street site of the
Tehachapi Post Office, circa1953 to 1962. It
incorporates a cast relief of a proud American
eagle, part of the façade, when built in 1953.
In 2008 a mural saluting the 100th anniversary
of the township of Monolith and the cement
plant that gave it its name was completed. The
mural depicts the importance of Monolith to
the people of Tehachapi. This mural was made
possible by a grant from Lehigh Southwest
Heidelberg, current owners and operators of
the cement plant.
To commemorate the 2009 Centennial of the
1909 incorporation of the town of Tehachapi,
a three-panel mural on Tehachapi Boulevard
was painted. A brochure of the murals is
available at the Chamber office. Other grants,
fundraisers, and donations from the building
owners, as well as the community, have
provided additional funding.

thermal conditions of the Mojave Desert
further intensify the areas world famous
wind resource. Its 3,624 turbines have an
installed capacity of 1583 megawatts of
electricity. The projected tax revenues by
2030 will exceed $45 million annually.
Tehachapi’s wind is inexhaustible, free and
clean. Today, approximately, 500 people
are directly employed by the wind industry.
Another 1500-2,200 are indirect or induced
employment.
Because of their modularity, turbines can be
built and installed quickly and inexpensively
as the requirements grow. Grazing, farming,
and recreational land use co-exists on wind
farmland. The Tehachapi-Mojave Wind
Resource Area has grown rapidly since its first
turbine began producing in the early 80’s.
An industry that began by installing 65kw
turbines is now regularly installing turbines
in excess of 3000kw. For more information,

create an estimated 8,000 construction jobs,
1,500 operational jobs and up to 25 billion
dollars of investment in Kern County’s future.
And this future is here today as a trip
through Mojave, located in Kern County at
the junction of Highway 58 and 14, makes
science fiction fact with millions of dollars
of wind turbine components being staged at
the Mojave Air and Spaceport. The motels in
Tehachapi and Mojave are full of construction
workers and people are working to bring clean
energy online… now.

TOMO-KAHNI
STATE HISTORIC
PARK
Due to the extremely sensitive nature of the
site, Tomo-Kahni is available to the public by
tour only. These tours are lead by trained
State Park docents on weekends during the
spring and fall months.
Tours begin with an orientation at the TomoKahni Resource Center at 112 East F Street,
Suite B, Tehachapi.
ATTRACTIONS
Nestled atop a ridge in the Tehachapi
Mountains, overlooking Sand Canyon to
the east and the Tehachapi valley to the west,
Tomo-Kahni, or “Winter Village,” was the
site of a Kawaiisu (Nuooah) Village. The
location was likely chosen for its moderate
temperature and plentiful resources. The
Kawaiisu migrated from the Great Basin
and made the Tehachapi Mountains their
home for two to three thousand years. The
Kawaiisu are noted for their finely woven
baskets of intricate and colorful design.
The moderately strenuous walking tour takes
between two to three hours to complete.
The overall tour, including orientation and
return to the Resource Center, takes about
4 to 5 hours.
As Tomo-Kahni is at an elevation of over
4,000 feet, the weather is variable, so layered
clothing is crecommended. Water, good
walking shoes and sun protection are also
necessary.
There is a nominal fee for adults and
children.
Reservations in advance are
required to assure a place on the date chosen.

COMMUNITY
CITY OF
TEHACHAPI
For decades, people have been living up in
Tehachapi but the idea of “living up” isn’t just
about our place at 4,000 feet above the ocean
waves. Instead, it’s about living in a City
where long-term planning and a commitment
to excellence are being elevated in importance
every day. It’s about enjoying the kind of
community where quality of life is always at
the top of the priority list.
In the City of Tehachapi, living up means
creating a City where everyone can reach new
heights professionally and personally, as well
as mentally and physically. Crafting that kind
of place requires fiscal stability, collaborative
thinking and a steady approach to improving
the public realm.
It also means being business friendly. To
support new and existing businesses, we
have recently added a “Tools for Business”
link on its newly redesigned website at www.
tehachapicityhall.com.
The information
provided there will assist businesses with
funding programs, business planning,
government requirements, business and
employer training, and more.
The
City
is
also
working
to
better
communicate its mission and share the “Live
up” brand by creating a Facebook page. Look
us up and “like” us at www.facebook.com/
CityofTehachapi
Better communication isn’t the only thing
happening in Tehachapi. The newly adopted
Event Center and Rodeo Grounds master
plan, located on the airport north of the
runway, will increase tourism and economic
development for the entire Tehachapi region.
The master plan includes a covered arena,
banquet hall, horse trails, motocross/BBX
track, and RV camp sites and other amenities
that will attract visitors and residents alike.
None of this would be possible without great
partnerships. Over the past several years, the
City has developed successful partnerships
that allow the community to adopt a shared
vision of success with each community group
or agency all pulling up on the same rope.
Some of these partnerships include the Greater
Tehachapi Chamber of Commerce, the Greater
Tehachapi Economic Development Council,
the Tehachapi Heritage League, the Tehachapi
Senior Center, Main Street Tehachapi,
Tehachapi Mountain Rodeo Association, the
Tehachapi Tourism Commission, Tehachapi
Community Theatre and others.
The future is definitely looking up in
Tehachapi. By continuing our tradition
of fiscal stability, investing in the public
realm and building partnerships, the City of
Tehachapi will remain a place where everyone
can work up, play up and grow up in every
sense of the word.

HEALTHCARE
DISTRICT
The Tehachapi Valley Healthcare District
(TVHD) is a governmental entity created as
a “special district” described under California
state law. Special districts are designed to
provide a particular function in a specific
geographic area and are governed by an
elected board of directors. Special districts are
independent from city or county governments.
Our district was created to provide healthcare
services to the Greater Tehachapi area and
its surrounding communities. The District
oversees the operation of Tehachapi Hospital,
a fully licensed and accredited 24-bed Critical
Access Hospital offering 24-hour Emergency
care, medical acute-care beds, “swing beds”
(acute beds which can be used for shortstay long-term care residents), Laboratory,
Radiology (including CT, ultrasound and
mammography), Cardiopulmonary services,
and
Rehabilitative
Medicine/Physical
New Tehachapi Hospital Groundbreaking,
March 28, 2013
Therapy. TVHD also offers three outpatient
Family Health Centers located in Tehachapi,
Mojave, and California City. These clinics
operate Monday through Saturday and accept
walk-ins.
In response to California’s SB 1953
requirement to seismically retrofit or rebuild
acute care hospitals, 80% of the voters in
the Greater Tehachapi area chose to pass a
general obligation bond in 2004. It provided
TVHD with an authorization to raise $15
million towards funding the building of a new
hospital. In November 2009, the district’s
voters graciously approved an additional $50
million in general obligation bond sales to
complete the design and construction of a
new state-of-the-art hospital for the Greater
Tehachapi Valley area.
TVHD has been working diligently with SWA
architects, the Office of Statewide Health
Planning and Development (OSHPD),
medical staff members, hospital employees
and dedicated community members to plan
and design a new “state-of-the-art” facility for
our growing population. The new hospital
will provide triple the floor space of our
current hospital and 25 private patient rooms
to maintain our Critical Access Hospital
designation. As the need for additional
beds arises, the hospital plans will allow for
expansion.
Under the current TVHD seismic waiver,
the new facility must be substantially
completed by January 1, 2015. Construction
began on March 28, 2013 with an official
groundbreaking ceremony on that date.
Completion of the new replacement hospital
is scheduled for late 2015 and ready for
occupancy in early 2016. We look forward
to opening a modern, digitally-integrated
hospital that promotes healing and wellness of
our patients and residents, their families and
visitors.
