Taft (formerly Moron, Moro, and Siding Number Two)〔 is a city in the foothills at the extreme southwestern edge of the San Joaquin Valley, in Kern County, California. Taft is located west-southwest of Bakersfield, at an elevation of 955 feet (291 m).〔 The population was 9,327 at the 2010 census. According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of .
==History==
The town began as Siding Number Two on the Sunset Railroad.〔 According to a display at the West Kern Oil Museum, local residents asked the Southern Pacific Railroad if the station could be named ''Moro'' when the rails arrived in about 1900, but a railroad official declined because the name would be too easily confused with the coastal town of Morro Bay. Instead, the railroad directed the station be called Moron, a word which as yet had no association with stupidity. Pictures of local businesses, including the Moron Pharmacy, hang in the museum.
After a fire burned much of the town, the name was changed to Taft in honor of William Howard Taft.〔
