Show map of the United StatesCalflax is an unincorporated community in Fresno County, California.[1] It is located 20 miles (32 km) northeast of Coalinga,[2] at an elevation of 276 feet (84 m).[1]
Calflax was established in the mid-1930s when irrigated flax and cotton fields were planted in the once-barren west San Joaquin Valley. Calflax originally had a school, store, and cotton gin.[3] In 1959, the University of California West Side Research and Extension Center was established on the site of Calflax.[4] A few scattered residences remain at the site today.
