The Flagstaff, Arizona area was inhabited 1,400 years ago by the Anasazi Indians who built pueblo dwellings East and Northeast of today's town. They left 700 years ago, because of extended dry seasons and drought. Other Indian cultures later lived and traded nearby. In the 1850's, the Army explored the area looking for the best route to build a wagon road across the area. On July 4, 1876, the nation's centennial, a flag was hung on a tall pine that was stripped of its branches. It became a landmark for travelers along the road. When the railroad arrived in 1881, the city was officially named Flagstaff. The nearby forest provided a supply of wood for construction and railroad ties. Lumber became a big business and Flagstaff grew. The Lowell Observatory was built in 1894 (the planet Pluto was discovered from here in 1930). The city was a transportation hub and, in the 1920's, with the building of Route 66, 'The Mother Road' from Chicago to the California Coast, Flagstaff became a major stop along the way. At 7,000 feet above sea level, the city is cooler than most of Arizona and has attracted many who want to escape the desert heat. The San Francisco Peaks outside of town provide a scenic backdrop to the city.
Today, the city of 50,000, at the intersection of Interstates 17 and 40, has small-town charm with unique attractions and access to beautiful Southwest country. The famous Museum Club, a legendary Route 66 roadhouse and museum, with a nightclub called 'The Zoo' for traveling musicians, still operates today and has hosted country music legends such as Willie Nielson and Waylon Jennings. Activities: Flagstaff boasts the historic Railroad District, Route 66 through town, Museum Club, historic 1904 Riordan Mansion, museums, arboretum, Lowell Observatory, Northern Arizona Univ., Snowbowl skiing (Mid-Dec to Mid-Apr). There's easy day trips to the Grand Canyon; Oak Creek Canyon; Sedona; a Meteor Crater; and Wupatki, Petrified Forest, Sunset Crater, and Walnut Canyon National Monuments.
