Geography

Armona is located in northern Kings County at 36°18′57″N 119°42′30″W / 36.31583°N 119.70833°W / 36.31583; -119.70833.[2] California State Route 198 runs through the community, leading east into Hanford, the county seat, and west 4 miles (6 km) to Lemoore.

History

The name "Armona" was applied to a railroad station in the 1880s. It was subsequently transferred to the present location on the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1891. Reportedly, the name was coined by transposing the first two letters of the name "Ramona".[5]

The first school in the Armona vicinity was the Giddings School built in 1880. The Giddings School District was renamed Armona in 1907. A new brick school house was constructed in the early 1920s. As that structure did not comply with California's earthquake standards (the Field Act), it was replaced in 1953 with what is now the Armona Elementary School.[6]

The Armona post office was established in 1887.[3]
