History
In 1854 the First Regiment, US Dragoons established Fort Tejon near the head of the Grapevine Canyon. The Yokut Indians of the San Joaquin Valley were peaceful and friendly. Most notably the ghost town of Keyesville, Kern County, California is the location where 5 Indians were killed in 1856, and another 35 in were killed by soldiers in the 1863 'Keyesville Massacre.' Relations with other tribes were more cordial. It was on this field, in the southwestern portion of Kern County near Maricopa, that well drillers brought about the 1910 Lakeview Gusher, the largest recorded oil gusher in US history. Harding G.
