Aerial Acres is an unincorporated community in Kern County, California.[1]
It is located 5.5 miles (9 km) east-southeast of Castle Butte,[2] at an elevation of 2,428 feet (740 m).[1] It was noted as "a desert town at Clay Mine Road and Sequoia in Peerless Valley, California.[3] It is a small community of homes and trailers.[4] The US Post Office recognizes the community name in Zip Code 93523, which is shared with Edwards and North Edwards.[5]
A 1997 profile of the community in The Bakersfield Californian described it as having about 300 residents, half being retirees, and other half working at either U.S. Borax or Edwards Air Force Base. It described the community as being founded by happenstance in the 1950s after it was discovered that a well built for a sheep ranch actually laid 100 feed west of the ranch property line. A developer bought a half-square mile lot and then subdivided it, due to the available water source, and it was named "Aerial Acres" because it sits 300 feet above North Edwards.[6] Phone service was established in 1966.[7]
