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[edit]


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]

Full-time equivalent From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to navigation Jump to search Full-time equivalent ( FTE ) or whole time equivalent ( WTE ) is a unit that indicates the workload of an employed person (or student) in a way that makes workloads or class loads comparable [1] across various contexts. FTE is often used to measure a worker's or student's involvement in a project, or to track cost reductions in an organization. An FTE of 1.0 is equivalent to a full-time worker or student, while an FTE of 0.5 signals half of a full work or school load.
