The History of Bakersfield Begins Here
On these sacred grounds lie early pioneers, city founders, soldiers of the Civil War on both sides, and the man for whom our city is named. Historic Union Cemetery is more than a memorial park, it is the storybook of the American West.
Bakersfield’s emergence into a significant urban, agricultural and oil center, and of countless families who, since 1872, have forever merged their own histories with the heritage of this remarkable place.
