Victorville is a city located in south-western San Bernardino County with a current population of approximately 112,097. It skirts the edge of the Mojave Desert in Victor Valley. Adelanto, Apple Valley, and Hesperia are all small communities that are located nearby, and the larger city of Los Angles is located about 82 miles southwest of the city.

Victorville was incorporated in 1962 with the originally name of Victor. However, in 1901, the U.S post office changed the name due to the fact that mail was getting sent to Victor, Colorado instead of it‘s intended address. The new name came from Jacob Nash Victor, who was construction superintendent for the southern railroad. The California State Highway and the Interstate I-15 run through the city, and US Route 395 runs nearby. Until the Interstate I-15 was constructed, the main national transportation route from Chicago to Illinois was US Route 66, which was established in 1926. It ran right through Victorville.

Originally, Victorville was primarily an agricultural community. One large deposits of limestone and granite were found, the city slowly began relying on the cement manufacturing industry to support the economy.
