About Fenner, California: The Mojave's Welcome Break
Fenner is a historic and essential stop along the remote western alignment of Historic Route 66 in the Mojave Desert. Its history as an oasis began long before the Mother Road made its way through California; in the early 20th century, Fenner served as a vital watering stop for powerful steam locomotives on the Santa Fe Railway, laying the groundwork for its role in transcontinental travel.
With the designation of U.S. Route 66 in 1926, Fenner transformed into an indispensable service hub. Situated on one of the longest and most challenging stretches of the "Main Street of America," the town became a literal beacon of survival for early motorists. Its services, primarily the gas station and the iconic Fenner Diner/Cafe, were a crucial welcome sign, providing a much-needed break and fuel against the vast, unforgiving desert.
Though Interstate 40 rerouted the bulk of traffic, Fenner's isolation now serves as its primary draw for Route 66 road trippers seeking an authentic, solitary desert experience. While the historic gas station and cafe have seen closures and reopenings over the years, a stop here offers modern travelers a profound connection to the past, allowing them to stand at the same point of respite that was a true Mojave Desert oasis for generations of pioneers and adventurers.
