It is on historic Route 66, west of the Mojave Freeway (I-15), between Barstow and Victorville. The name Helendale is used by the USPS, while Silver Lakes is used by the US Census. The 2010 United States census reported Silver Lakes's population was 5,623.[1] HistorySeveral Native American tribes lived in the area, namely the Mojave and Serrano. It is believed that the first White man to travel through was the Franciscan priest Francisco Garcés in 1776. He was exploring a route to the missions on the Coast following the Mojave River. The original name for Helendale was Point of Rocks. There were several early trails and roadways through this area of the Mojave Desert, including the Mojave Trail, which was used by the Indians and Father Garcés, the Spanish Trail, the Santa Fe Trail, the Mormon Trail, et cetera. After Father Garcés, Jedediah Smith traveled through the Point of Rocks area in 1826 on a fur trapping expedition. In 1844, John C. Frémont and his guide, Kit Carson, traveled through heading east via the Cajon Pass. During the Mexican–American War, in late 1846 or early 1847, the Mormon Battalion camped at Point of Rocks on their way to Los Angeles. They were released from the military shortly afterward and part of the battalion returned to Salt Lake City through Point of Rocks. The first Mormon wagon train traveled through in about 1851. In 1857, Edward Fitzgerald Beale and his camel driver, Hi Jolly, brought a famous caravan through on the way to Wilmington for the Camel Corps. After a few horse ridden mail conveyance companies during the 1850s went out of business, the short-lived Pony Express began its service in the early 1860s and a stone station was built by the river at Point of Rocks. The stagecoach station at Point of Rocks was located west of where the railroad tracks were later put down. In about 1863, the station was burned by Paiute Indians of the Shoshone branch. The Santa Fe Railroad arrived in the 1880s and built a Point of Rocks station, which provided a watering stop for the steam engine locomotives then moving trains across the High Desert. On December 15, 1897, the name was changed to Helen in honor of Helen A. Wells (born 1885), daughter of railroad executive Arthur G. Wells (1861–1932). On September 22, 1918, the name was changed to Helendale. Route 66, or National Trails Highway, was paved and officially opened in the Helendale area in 1926. Helendale has a historical marker commemorating the old road that is located 100 yards south of the intersection of Route 66 and Vista Road. In 1969, construction began on two manmade lakes, North Lake and South Lake, covering approximately {{convert|277|acre|km2}}, and a resort community called Silver Lakes was built at Helendale that opened in the early 1970s. The ZIP Code is 92342 and the community is inside area code 760. GeographyAccording to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP covers an area of 5.6 square miles (14.4 km²), 5.2 square miles (13.4 km²) of it land, and 0.4 square miles (1.0 km²) of it (7.15%) water. Helendale is located in a generally flat area in the Mojave Desert, between Victorville and Barstow. It is located {{convert|100|miles|km}} northeast of Los Angeles and {{convert|180|miles|km}} southwest of Las Vegas at an elevation of {{convert|2464|ft|m}}.[1] The town consists primarily of the Silver Lakes resort community, which is built around two manmade lakes. Water for these lakes comes from Mojave River, which, while dry at the surface, has flow underground. ClimateHelendale is in a desert climate. Like most of the Mojave Desert, it has cool winters and hot summers and very little rainfall. It often will remain dry while nearby Victorville and Barstow are experiencing flash floods. For this reason, natives called the area "The hole in the sky."{{citation needed|date=February 2012}} {{Weather box| location = Helendale, California | single line = Y | Jan record high F = 80 | Feb record high F = 87 | Mar record high F = 93 | Apr record high F = 100 | May record high F = 108 | Jun record high F = 111 | Jul record high F = 116 | Aug record high F = 112 | Sep record high F = 113 | Oct record high F = 101 | Nov record high F = 88 | Dec record high F = 85 |year record high F = 116 | Jan high F = 60 | Feb high F = 63 | Mar high F = 69 | Apr high F = 75 | May high F = 85 | Jun high F = 94 | Jul high F = 99 | Aug high F = 99 | Sep high F = 93 | Oct high F = 81 | Nov high F = 69 | Dec high F = 60 |year high F = | Jan low F = 32 | Feb low F = 35 | Mar low F = 39 | Apr low F = 44 | May low F = 50 | Jun low F = 56 | Jul low F = 62 | Aug low F = 62 | Sep low F = 56 | Oct low F = 46 | Nov low F = 37 | Dec low F = 31 |year low F = | Jan record low F = -1 | Feb record low F = 11 | Mar record low F = 14 | Apr record low F = 25 | May record low F = 30 | Jun record low F = 36 | Jul record low F = 35 | Aug record low F = 42 | Sep record low F = 32 | Oct record low F = 21 | Nov record low F = 8 | Dec record low F = 6 |year record low F = -1 |precipitation colour = green | Jan precipitation inch = 1.1 | Feb precipitation inch = 1.3 | Mar precipitation inch = 0.9 | Apr precipitation inch = 0.3 | May precipitation inch = 0.1 | Jun precipitation inch = 0.1 | Jul precipitation inch = 0.2 | Aug precipitation inch = 0.2 | Sep precipitation inch = 0.2 | Oct precipitation inch = 0.4 | Nov precipitation inch = 0.5 | Dec precipitation inch = 1.0 | year precipitation inch= |source 1 = Weather Channel[2] |date=April 2016}} Public SafetyLaw enforcement is provided by the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department out of the Adelanto Station.
