The fountain is a monument to Cal Trans who built it in the 1930's as a service to the motoring public.


The water source was developed by George L Kramer, the Cummings Toll Road Keeper, for the horses he used to maintain the road in the 1880's.


The fountain became more important in August of 1992 as the namesake of the Fountain Fire. It was moved here from its original location.
