About Buttonwillow

Named after a historic lone tree that once guided travelers across the San Joaquin Valley, Buttonwillow is a quiet, small-town community in western Kern County. Situated right where Interstate 5 meets Highway 58, it is a familiar stop for road-trippers and home to the popular Buttonwillow Raceway Park. Day-to-day life here revolves around agriculture, with wide-open skies, orchards, and cotton fields stretching out in every direction. For anyone looking for affordable, rural Central Valley living with quick highway connections to Bakersfield, Buttonwillow offers a simple and peaceful setting.
