Monolith (formerly, Aqueduct)[2] is an unincorporated community in the Tehachapi Valley, in Kern County, California.[1]

The community is located 4.5 miles (7.2 km) east of Tehachapi,[2] at an elevation of 3,966 feet (1,209 m) in the southern Sierra Nevada and eastern Tehachapi Pass areas.[1]

History

The Aqueduct post office opened in 1908, and changed its name to Monolith in 1910.[2]

Aqueduct−Monolith began as a camp for workers at a cement plant for the Owens Valley aqueduct project, supplying materials for the construction of concrete structures.[2] William Mulholland bestowed the name change, due to a huge limestone deposit.[2] At Monolith Substation in 2014, Southern California Edison commissioned the Tehachapi Energy Storage Project, which was the largest lithium-ion battery system operating in North America at the time of commissioning and one of the largest in the world.[3]
