Hodge is located along historic U.S. Route 66 and the Mojave River, 11 miles (18 km) southwest of Barstow and north of the Victor Valley.
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.
