It's pretty much the heart of where the dust bowl of the 1930s was. Most of the people who lived there left and never came back. They moved to places like Bakersfield, California, which is a big part of how you get the "Bakersfield Sound" in country music with guys like Buck Owens and Merle Haggard.
