California Portland Cement Company, located on a 9,000-acre site, opened in 1955 after a nine-mile rail spur connected the site to the main line at Mojave. The plant has been expanded and modernized a number of times, most recently in the early 1980's. Cement from this facility was used to build the Bonaventure Hotel, Dodger Stadium, and the second L.A. Aqueduct.
