About fire protection in McFarland
McFarland was founded in 1908 when educator James Boyd McFarland, who'd relocated from Zanesville, Ohio, bought the original townsite — then a small agricultural and livestock community known as Hunt's Siding — with help from Bakersfield real estate businessman William Laird. The city incorporated in 1957. Most people outside Kern County know McFarland from the 2015 Disney film "McFarland, USA," based on the real McFarland High School cross-country team's remarkable run of 24 CIF Central Section state championships between 1987 and 2013 — a story rooted in the town's population of farmworker families.
Agriculture remains central to McFarland's economy — cotton, sugar beets, potatoes, and roses are all grown in the surrounding fields, and the town sits close enough to both Delano and Bakersfield that trucking and logistics have become a bigger part of the local economy too. McFarland's small-town agricultural roots are still visible in its downtown and surrounding properties, right alongside newer commercial development along Highway 99.
