Venola is a small place in Kern County, California. It is known as an "unincorporated community." This means it's a group of homes or buildings that don't have their own local government, like a city or town does. Instead, it's looked after by the larger county government, which is Kern County in this case.
Where is Venola?
Venola is located in the sunny state of California. It sits right next to the Southern Pacific Railroad tracks. This railroad is a very old and important railway system in the United States.
Location Details
Venola is about 5.25 miles (which is about 8.45 kilometers) south-southwest of a bigger city called Bakersfield. It is also 374 feet (or 114 meters) above sea level. This elevation means it's not too high up in the mountains, but it's not right at the beach either.
