The community of Mojave has a rich history as a hospitality center located at the hub of major transportation routes. The community experienced its first period of growth in the late nineteenth century when two railroads came to town and developed the surrounding area to serve tourists, including the Harvey House railroad dining depot. Around the same time, Mojave became the terminus for the famous 20-mule teams carrying borax to the West Coast. In 1925, the construction of a state highway linked Mojave to communities to the south, and the next few decades saw growth in the restaurant and hospitality industry with construction of the town’s first motels. The independent airport district was formed in 1972, and today, the Mojave Air and Space Port is home to more than 60 companies engaged in flight development and highly advanced aerospace design. Mojave is currently at a crossroads in terms of its development as a community.
Over the last few decades, the project area has experienced some neglect and economic growth has stagnated. The community is eager to build on its heritage as a transportation hub and hospitality center and to continue to grow its reputation as a center for high tech industry and innovation. With the right path and a clear direction, Mojave is ready to thrive again.
