Antelope Valley is in northern Los Angeles County, California, and the southeast part of Kern County, California. It is a part of the western tip of the Mojave Desert.[1] It is between the Tehachapi, Sierra Pelona, and the San Gabriel Mountains.[2]
The valley was named for the pronghorns that roamed there. They were killed in the 1880s, mostly by hunting, or moved to other areas.[2][3] The main cities in the Antelope Valley are Palmdale and Lancaster.
