Victorville, California
|
"In about 1885 Victorville was called “Victor”,
after Jacob Nash Victor. He was a construction superintendent
for the California Southern Railroad. The town started because
they built a station, and then a railway depot. And there was
good water and agricultural land – even though it was the
edge of the desert."

"Cement manufacturing is now the biggest
industry in the Victor Valley. Oh – and there’s a
Route 66 Museum here. Like to see that, Brad?"

"Yeah – but some other time
guys. We’re headed into the Mojave now." |
