From the City web site:
The City of McFarland is nestled in the southern San Joaquin Valley of Kern County, California. Blessed with over 300 beautiful days of sunshine annually, McFarland is a thriving community deeply rooted in agriculture. Cotton, sugar beets, potatoes, and roses are some of the leading enterprises. A citrus processing plant, an almond hulling facility, and a winery further serve the area's agriculture and economic interests.
Incorporated July 15, 1957, the town was named for J. B. McFarland, who with W. F. Laird, established the townsite in 1908
