§ 65533 California Agricultural Districts

Key Takeaways

  • •California is split into 7 big areas called districts, each with its own borders.
  • •Each district covers specific cities and areas, like District 1 covers Southern California including Coachella Valley.
  • •The borders are described using roads, rivers, and lines on a map, not just city names.
  • •If you live in California, your district depends on where you are on the map, not just your city.

Example

If you live in Bakersfield, you are in District 2.

District 2 includes places like Shafter, Bakersfield, and Arvin. The borders are set using highways and county lines, so if you're inside those lines, you're in District 2.
