More than 2, years ago, the Mojave Desert had been occupied by Indian tribes who lived beside the immense lakes that covered most of the Mojave. In the late s, the Barstow area became a mining center.
Daggett, 5 miles down river, was founded in the s. It was originally called Calico Junction but was renamed after California Lieutenant Governor John Daggett when silver was discovered 6 miles north in the Calico Mountains in The finding of silver in Calico and the building of the Southern Pacific Railroad from Mojave to Daggett in made the area a mining center. The famous mule teams came into being when 10 teams were hitched together with two wagons and a water wagon to haul ore from Daggett to the town of Calico.
That same year, the Santa Fe Railroad arrived in town. The mine shut down in when all the silver had played out. But in , the borax rush hit Calico, and by , three borax mines employing men supported Daggett. As the 20th century progressed, Calico and Daggett diminished while Barstow grew. It became a busy rail center and a jumping off place for immigrants entering the state on US Route 66, as made famous by John Steinbeck's novel "The Grapes of Wrath.
Just off Main Street, at First Street, travelers can drive over an old iron bridge that leads to the railroad depot once the site of the historic Harvey House, originally opened in With the construction of the modern Interstate Highway system Barstow's future of growth was assured, as I and I converged at the city limits with State Highway 58, making it the transportation hub of the western Mojave Desert.
