For centuries the Cajon Pass has been an important thoroughfare for travelers and traders between the Mojave Desert and Southern California. Following the route of the Old Spanish Trail, most travelers transited the pass on its east side. This route, however, was very narrow and rocky, and was less than suitable for wagon travel. In 1850, William T. B. Sanford constructed a much better wagon road through the West Cajon pass. This route, a few miles south of this marker, departed from the Old Spanish Trail near present day Victorville, crossed Baldy Mesa Ridge and turned down West Cajon Canyon to Mormon Rocks, then rejoined the Old Spanish Trail near the present location of the Interstate 15 Truck Scales. Known variously as the Sanford Crossing, Sanford Cutoff, or Sanford Pass Route, this westerly transit was less rocky than its eastern counterpart, but was still very steep at its summit. On the descent, cattle and wagons often slid the first fifty feet; on the ascent, it was necessary to hitch as many as 32 mules to each wagon. In 1855, Sanford and Phineas Banning constructed a new alignment about one and one-half miles west of his original road. Although it was an improvement over his earlier route, grades were still as steep as 30%. The arduous ascent and descent of the Sanford Cutoff troubled freighters until the completion of the John Brown Toll Road through Coyote Canyon (now called Crowder Canyon) on the east side of Cajon Pass in 1861.
In 1955, Ervin Jackson and Newman H. Waters developed the first office park in the United States.
A neighborhood of 158 homes, Monte D'Oro was established July 23, 1964, which was prior to the incorporation of the City of Hoover. The neighborhood was build by developer William M. "Bill" Humphries. These homes were designed by architect and noted sculptor Cordray Parker. His works are located at area churches, hospitals, gardens and universities. Each home was individually planned and placed on tree lined streets. Inspired by his studies In Italy, the architect named the community "Monte D'Oro".
Immediately to the east is one of the stone bridges over which passed the old stage road from Nashville to Louisville. The stage line operated until the rail-road was completed in 1859.
Grand Lake St. Marys was constructed between 1837 and 1845
as a feeder reservoir for the Miami and Erie Canal. The
reservoir provided a constant source of water for the
canal through a feeder canal located at the eastern
embankment of the lake. At the western embankment of
the lake a spillway was constructed in 1843 south of
the site of Coldwater Creek as a control structure
for the lake. Following the Flood of 1913 a new spillway
was constructed in 1914 at Beaver Creek near this site
The spillway complex included a gatehouse that housed
the gate opening mechanisms. Two historic plaques
from that gatehouse are mounted on this monument. The
present spillway was constructed between 1996- 1997 as
a replacement for the 1914 spillway, and is 500 feet long
and 19.5 feet from the crest to the toe of the
spillway.
