Isabella is a former settlement in Kern County, California.[1] It was located 4.5 miles (7.2 km) north-northeast of Bodfish,[2] at an elevation of 2516 feet (767 m).[1] The site was inundated by Lake Isabella.[1]

A post office operated at the original site of Isabella from 1896 to 1953, then at the relocated site from 1953 until the name was changed to Lake Isabella in 1957.[2] The town was founded by Steven Barton in 1893 and named in honor of Queen Isabella of Spain while her name was current during the 1893 Columbian Exposition.[2]
