Claraville (formerly, Kelso and Clarasillo)[2] is an unincorporated community in Kern County, California.[1] It is located 13 miles (21 km) north of Emerald Mountain,[2] at an elevation of 6,302 feet (1,921 m).[1]
A post office operated at Claraville from 1940 to 1941 and from 1949 to 1957.[2] Originally a mining camp called Kelso, the place was renamed Claraville in honor of Clara Munckton, first white woman there.[2] It developed in the 1860s, was deserted by 1869, and revived in the 1930s with the resumption of mining operations during the depression.[2]
