History
The settlement was named after ranch owners Gilbert and Robert Hodge. Hodge was a railroad station, supplying water from wells into the usually subterranean Mojave River. It was a desert stop on U.S. Route 66 between Barstow and Victorville.[2] By 1952 Hodge was no longer active until new houses were built in the late 1980s.
