Lenwood
Lenwood, a small community just west of Barstow along Route 66, started gaining traction as a residential area in 1924 when large ranches were subdivided. Positioned along the Mojave River, Lenwood offered an appealing option for those looking for a more relaxed desert suburban lifestyle while still having easy access to the amenities of Barstow. By 2010, the population had grown to 3,543, reflecting its steady development. Over the years, Lenwood has maintained its identity as a quiet community with ties to both Barstow and the historic highway that once brought travelers through the heart of the Mojave Desert.
