On April 28, 1869, during the famous laying of ten miles of track in a day, Central Pacific workers stopped here for lunch after laying six miles of track and christened the site Victory. The place was later named Rozel after the nearby mountains. Though it was an unimportant flag stop for tourists, Rozel became an important stop for freight trains, where helper engines stationed there assisted heavy trains up the steep grades of the Promontory Mountains.
