Tehachapi was preceded by a settlement a few miles west of it called Williamsburg or "Tehichipa" which was in existence in the 1870's.

Downtown Tehachapi is 15 miles (24 km) from the White Wolf Fault, 6 miles (10 km) from the Garlock Fault and 30 miles (50 km) from the San Andreas Fault.

Perhaps the first movie to be filmed in Tehachapi was The Lady of the Dugout (1918), which starred former outlaws Al and Frank Jennings playing themselves. The brother outlaws were well known to Americans of the time. Alphonso J. Al Jennings was born in Virginia in 1863. ...

Home Depot (Opened: November 30th, 2006)

Perhaps the largest employer in Tehachapi is the California Correctional Institution (CCI), which is a high-security prison for males. The prison held only female criminals prior to the 1952 earthquake. At one time land east of the city along Highway 58, designated "Capital Hills", was envisioned to become a site for cutting edge research and technologies development as well as new residential areas. Such plans never came to fruition, however, and the area has yet to develop or attract businesses involved in technology and research, with only the post office, a Holiday Inn, a Texaco gas station and Denny's located in the area.
