Route 66-The Mother Road

Route 66 was commissioned in 1926, and passes through 8 States: Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California. Nicknamed the Mother Road, because it connected the heartland to the West Coast, and provided a migration route for people during the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression. Route 66 spans approximately 2,400 miles from Chicago, Illinois to Santa Monica, CA.

Route 66 was decommissioned in 1985 after the completion of Interstate 40, and many business and communities were greatly affected by the loss of traffic as more people chose I-40 for their travel route.  Many states have designated bypassed sections of Route 66 as “Historic Route 66” and “National Scenic Byways”.The original “Cars” Movie takes place in the fictional town of “Radiator Springs”, and the movie creators visited the Arizona towns of Oatman, Seligman and Holbrook for inspiration.

Today, many travel decisions are shaped before a journey even begins. Search results, ads, and automated recommendations often replace firsthand understanding. We hope to change that.
