    Tips

    April 29, 2020

    In 1858 Aaron G. Lane settled on the Mojave River. He was a war veteran still suffering from the effects of malaria and found that the warm, dry air of the desert did him good. Lane's Crossing became a welcome stop on the arduous journey out of the hot desert and towards the coast. As is usual in many places, the place name changed when the railway was reached. This time Jacob Nash was godfather to Victor, the manager of the California Southern Railroad. In 1901, the post office again changed its name to Victorville so as not to be confused with the mining town of Victor, Colorado.

    As in Oro Grande, Victorville has specialized in lime mining. With Route 66, more and more utilities were added for those passing through.
