Monolith (formerly, Aqueduct)[2] is an unincorporated community in Kern County, California.[1] It is located 4.5 miles (7.2 km) east of Tehachapi,[2] at an elevation of 3966 feet (1209 m).[1]

The Aqueduct post office opened in 1908, and changed its name to Monolith in 1910.[2] Monolith began as a camp for workers at a cement plant supplying the Owens Valley aqueduct.[2] William Mulholland bestowed the name due to a huge limestone deposit.[2]
