History & History Related Items
Tehachapi history: The first permanent white settlers were John Moore and Amanda Brite who came to the Valley in the Fall of 1854 from Texas and three years later moved to Brite-Valley which bears their name. Others came into the area and began raising cattle, hay and grain and lumbering. Some gold was found in the limestone of the area and kilns were then built to burn the lime. In the 1860's a community known as Williamsburg began, but the name was later changed to Techichipa. Several miles east of Tehichipa another community, Greenwich, was started by P.D. Greene. In 1876, the Southern Pacific created a town along their tracks about a mile east of Greenwich named Summit Station. They didn't want to favor any existing towns of the area. Not long after, Summit Station became known as Tehachapi to the locals and was also named as such on the railroad's timetable charts. After a time, both Greenwich and "old" Tehichipa disappeared. Tehachapi was near the epicenter of a magnitude 7.5 (Richter scale) earthquake on the little known White Wolf fault on July 21, 1952. Unreinforced brick buildings were the major building destruction in Tehachapi at that time.
The incorporation date of Tehachapi: 1909
