Vaccaro was once a small community in Kern County, California. It was located close to the city of Arvin. Today, Vaccaro is no longer a populated place. It is known as a "former settlement."

Where Was Vaccaro Located?

Vaccaro was situated about 1.25 miles (2 kilometers) south-southeast of Arvin. It was found along the railroad tracks. The area was at an elevation of 423 feet (129 meters) above sea level. Vaccaro could still be seen on maps as late as 1933.

Vaccaro and the Oil Field

The area where Vaccaro used to be is part of the Mountain View Oil Field. An oil field is a region where oil is found underground. This specific part of the oil field is even named after Vaccaro. It is the southeasternmost section of the field.

This oil-rich area was first discovered in 1937. It has been producing oil ever since. This means that even though Vaccaro is no longer a town, its name lives on through the important oil field nearby.
