Ebbetts Pass was named after Major John Ebbett and was pointed out in 1853 to surveyor G.H. Goodard, who referred to it as a route of great promise and probably the best one for a transcontinental railway. No emigrant train used this route, but a stage road was completed here in 1864 to serve the mining region of Silver City.
