-Devil's Gate is so-named because of the natural rock feature at the site which resembles [[the Devil]]. A 1947 article in the ''Metropolitan Pasadena Star-News'' states that Devil's Gate was named in 1858 by Judge B.S. Eaton because of "its resemblance to a point of that name on Sweetwater Creek." Judge Eaton explained in a letter that he had seen the original point in 1850 when traveling along the old California trail with a team of oxen.
