East Bakersfield is a region in Bakersfield, California directly east of downtown. The region was the former town of Sumner, which was later incorporated and renamed Kern City. It is primarily a mixture of residential and commercial developments. It also contains a small business district (which was the downtown for Kern City) centered around the intersection of Baker Street, and Sumner Avenue. Census data is provided on the right for the time period when the region was an independent town and city.
