The Needles station is near the historic El Garces Hotel,[3] built by the Santa Fe Railroad in 1908 for the Fred Harvey Company.[2] It is located near the original station, which closed in 1958 and underwent extensive restoration.[2] The name El Garces was chosen to honor Father Francisco Garces, a missionary who arrived in the area in 1776.[4]
El Garces reopened in 2014 as an intermodal transportation facility, but without the proposed on-site Needles Chamber of Commerce office, and without the original hotel and restaurant.[5][6]
