/ Lancaster Urbanized Area, bordering the northern edge of Palmdale.
Lancaster is the second largest desert city in California after
Palmdale.
Lancaster, California is the largest City Named Lancaster in the
world. For a list of others, see Lancaster.Founded in 1876 along
the route of the Southern Pacific Railroad (now merged into the
Union Pacific Railroad), Lancaster was originally a commercial
and social center primarily for Antelope Valley farmers. During
World War II, the city was home to the Polaris Flight Academy
at War Eagle Field, the only civilian school offering basic flight
training for army cadets. After the war, Lancaster's population
saw a noticeable increase thanks to its proximity to Edwards Air
Force Base (formerly known as Muroc Army Air Field) and U.S. Air
Force Plant 42. In the 1990s and 2000s, Lancaster has seen another
housing boom as developers seek to build new housing in formerly
undeveloped land across the southwest U.S. Like Palmdale, Lancaster
is a contract city, in which the Los Angeles County Sheriff's
Department provides law enforcement services. It is served by
Lancaster station. http://www.cityoflancasterca.org/
