Coaling station and oil field
Coalinga began in 1888 as a Southern Pacific coaling station, and the town is mostly surrounded by the Coalinga oil field, where oil has been drawn for more than a hundred years. On May 2, 1983, a magnitude 6.5 earthquake nearly destroyed more than 300 homes and apartment buildings, and the eight-block commercial district downtown was almost totally destroyed. Ranch trailers, farm equipment and work trucks get repaired where they sit, because the rig carries engine-drive welding power, wire feeders, an oxy-acetylene torch and a plasma cutter.
For directions, a landmark helps: the R.C. Baker Memorial Museum, the New Coalinga Municipal Airport, or the junction of Highway 198 and Highway 33.
Questions we hear
Do you come out to Coalinga?
Yes. The town was once called Coaling Station A, local tradition has it that a Southern Pacific official made the name more sonorous, and the city incorporated in 1906. Every year over Memorial Day weekend, the town holds the Horned Toad Derby. Highway 145 brings the rig down Fresno-Coalinga Road. Call or text and we'll set a time.
Can you repair cattle and field equipment around Coalinga?
Yes. Cracked water tank stands, broken flatbed headache racks, bent chisel plow frames and split livestock feeder troughs get welded right at the ranch or in the field. Send a photo and the location and we'll plan the trip.
Do you also cover Harris Ranch?
Yes. Harris Ranch sits on Interstate 5 about 13 miles northeast of Coalinga, right along the way in.
What hours do you work?
Regular hours are 8 to 5, Monday through Friday. After-hours and emergency call-outs are available 24 hours a day, Monday - Saturday and are quoted up front. Call or text us to schedule.
Something broken in Coalinga?
Ranch road or town lot, text the location and the rig comes down Fresno-Coalinga Road.
