About Route 66 - Established on November 11, 1926, U.S. Route 66 spanned ~2,400 miles from Chicago to Santa Monica, becoming a vital, diagonal artery connecting the Midwest to the Pacific. Known as the "Mother Road" and "Main Street of America," it drove economic growth through rural towns, served as a Dust Bowl migration route, and fueled post-WWII tourism before being decommissioned in 1985. St. Louis served as a major hub with multiple alignments covering a wide stretch of our surrounding communities.
