Manhole Covers of Ridgecrest, California
Ridgecrest is a Navy town, even though it has no sea port, in northeastern Kern County located on State Route 178. Ridgecrest would likely not exist as a city without China Lake NAS, and only came into existence after China Lake NAS was established in 1943. It is a sprawling city on a grid pattern at the southwest corner of China Lake NAS. Ridgecrest has a population of about 25,635, 16% of which claim German ancestry. Ridgecrest used to be called Crumville. The per capita income in Ridgecrest is $21,312, just a tad below the national average.
