Leonards was once a small community or "settlement" located in Kern County, California. It's considered a "former settlement" because it no longer exists as a populated place today.
Where Was Leonards Located?
Leonards was situated about 5 miles (8 kilometers) southwest of a town called Wasco. It was in a flat area, about 295 feet (90 meters) above sea level. This part of California is known for its agricultural lands.
When Did Leonards Exist?
While we don't know exactly when Leonards was first settled, we do know it appeared on maps as late as 1947. This means it was a recognized place for at least some time in the early to mid-20th century. Over time, like many small settlements, it likely faded away as people moved to larger towns or cities, or as the land was used for other purposes.
