Шаблон:Infobox settlement Asphalto is an archaic place name in Kern County, California.[1] Asphalto, also known as La Brea,[2] was located on the railroad Шаблон:Convert northeast of McKittrick,[3] at an elevation of 932 feet (284 m).[1] Asphalto still appeared on maps as of 1932.[1] The name comes from the local asphaltum deposits.[2]

Asphalto was originally the site of the Aguaje de La Brea, a watering place on El Camino Viejo. The site has fossils in the asphalt deposits here, similar to other places in the vicinity of McKittrick.[4] A post office operated at Asphalto from 1893 to 1894, and from 1898 to 1900, when service was transferred to McKittrick.[3]
