The Serrano came under the jurisdiction of the U. By the Serrano suffered another devastating smallpox outbreak. The nadir of the Serrano experience came in when over a 32 day period the Yuhaviatam band of Serrano men, women and children were massacred at the hands of American settlers of the San Bernardino Valley in what is remembered as the Massacre at Chimney Rock. For the 8, years preceding the arrival of the Spanish, a subgroup of Serrano called Vanyume lived along the Mojave River — a river flowing north from the San Bernardino Mountains — in a territory ranging just east of Barstow, to a point south of Victorville.
The Mojave River runs mostly below ground, breaching the surface in areas with impermeable rock. The above-ground flow is primarily limited to the Afton Canyon area northeast of Barstow , and the upper and lower narrows near Victorville where seasonal flooding may occur after a strong winter rain or summer thunderstorm. During the Civil War, thousands of wagons hauled material across the Mojave Desert.
Victorville did not incorporate as a city until At one time the Mojave River served as a reliable water source, and combined with the abundance of open land, created a combination well-suited for farming, and very early in the 20th century agriculture became king in Victorville. Locals back then mistakenly believed the Mojave River water supply was not only bountiful, but endless, and they were wrong.
Fruit trees were planted in large quantities, producing large yields of apples, pears, apricots, plums, grapes and alfalfa, and by the early s the Mojave River was in overdraft — losing more water than was naturally replenished from rain and mountain snowmelt runoff. Savage issued a moratorium on development in the Victor Valley — a decree later overturned in court. The scarcity of water in Victorville is evident today by a city hall-mandated watering schedule for residents, restricted by time and address.
From June through September, residents may water only between the hours of 10 p. Addresses ending with a zero or even number may water only on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, and odd numbered addressed homes on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. No watering is allowed on Mondays. Victorville's summertime average high temperature marks at one degree and two degrees shy of hitting in July and August respectively, but the region cools substantially after sundown with the average low for these two hottest months dipping down to a few notches above the 50s, at 61 degrees.
Due to its location relatively near north-facing foothills of a mountain range, any day in Victorville may be a slightly windy day. Whether it be a sustained, yet slight breeze of 4 mph, or one with steady wind twice the speed with gusts higher, some wind is the norm here, but wind is not as frequent, nor as stiff, in Victor Valley as it is further west in the High Desert communities of Lancaster and Palmdale in neighboring Antelope Valley.
Established in , U. Spanning two-thirds of the continent and stretching 2, miles, the highway is referred to as the Will Rogers Highway, the Main Street of America, and the Mother Road. After eviction from their home and farm in the Great Depression, Route 66 is the road driven by the Joad family from Oklahoma to California in the film, Grapes of Wrath.
The path was formed as a conglomeration of existing connecting roads merely being marked with the Route 66 highway sign. In Victorville, U. Route 66 is marked on D and Seventh streets and serves as the principal thoroughfare through Old Town Victorville. It then continues south along Interstate 15, through the Cajon Pass, and down into the inland valley before turning west to Pasadena, as it then shadows the southern slope of the San Gabriel Mountain Range toward Los Angeles.
