Sageland (formerly, El Dorado Camp)[2] is an unincorporated community in Kern County, California.

[1] It is located near Kelso Creek 3.5 miles (5.6 km) west-northwest at the base of the Piute Mountains,[2] at an elevation of 4,026 feet (1,227 m).

By the spring of 1868, Sageland had become a boomtown with a population of almost a thousand, complete with multiple saloons, a billiard room, hotel, two stage lines to Havilah, and an opera house.

[citation needed] The area was the site of a large village of Kawaiisu Indians.

They were frequently accused of cattle rustling by white settlers, who would often retaliate mercilessly.
