Why is Needles, CA called Needles?

 

[jeepdog]

Thanks, great video...learned a lot

 

[4Waters]

Didn't even realize that was 4 minutes.

I always thought it was an alternative to calling the town "Hot As Fuck In The Summer".

Now I know.

I always thought it was because Spike was a heroin addict.

Yes, very cool. Thank you.

Wow. Thank you for that. I absolutely love history. I think if I actually stick with college and didn’t just go to work I’d be a history major. Love that shit. Thanks again for the post.

Pretty cool little video, never in a million years would i have intentionally looked that up but glad i watched it.

I was told it was named Needles as the local populous never could figure out how to spell Syringe.

The video didn't mention that there is liquor store in every corner, but no grocery store for miles.

Yes it is milky! A real shithole. . ive driven through the neighborhood one time on the was to and from laughlin.. Hard to believe people actually live in some of those run down old shacks.

It is an absolute shit hole....
Never go there

 

[Headless hula]

Every time I've flown out west I am ecstatic to come to Needles. It means I'm leaving Kommifornia. Seriously makes me uncomfortable to be in that state...

You're all welcome.

Happy to be able to share this video I just happen to run across posted on a local Facebook group page to Riverside, Ca of all places and figured this video would be well suited for RDP since a very high percentage of us has either been through or stopped in this town on the way to or from the river and may have at some point got to wondering about it's heritage on that long drive.

Tank, 'since your interest is pretty high in history regarding little towns or cities like this one (though it's in regards to San Bernardino County) after further research it seems this Assessor Bob Dutton of San Bernardino County generally puts out historical type videos enough that you may want to consider becoming a subscriber of his YouTube channel and/or web search his name under "videos"...Good stuff... https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvNbgYbqONyOVCn7uMeDJXQ

all towns that existed at some point to put water in steam locomotives.
i think it was bagdad that at a time when they were down to like 20 poeple the rail road was there source for water and meager livings were made at a nearby concrete kiln. I think i read that in book called "the silence and the sun" which is about some of those little towns on old 66

Speedles is a great place to buy an affordable home in Ca.

I’m not much on most public office holders, I have to give it up to Mr. Dunton, those are cool vids.

 

[getreal]

I heard they called it Needles because nobody couldn't spell "syringe"

 

[RitcheyRch]

Pretty cool and thanks for sharing

Supply meeting demand!
