Historical Note

Angel Delgadillo, barber and proprietor of the Delgadillo Barber Shop and Pool Hall, after observing the economic damage done to Seligman, Arizona caused the then recent I-40 bypass, began looking for ways to help revive the town. On February 18, 1987, he arranged a meeting of representatives from Route 66 towns across Arizona to organize a group to make old Route 66 a “historic” highway with hopes of reviving tourism and increasing traffic. At this meeting the Historic Route 66 Association of Arizona was proposed. In November of 1987, the Association formally came into being. Soon after, the state of Arizona christened the former Route 66 alignment between Seligman to Kingman as “Historic Route 66”. Then, sections of Route 66 east of Seligman, and from Kingman to Topock at the California border was also named part of historic Route 66, preserving the longest remaining stretch of uninterrupted Route 66 in the country. In 1988, the Association began putting on an annual “Fun Run”, a two-day event running from Seligman, to Golden Shores, Arizona. Starting with just a couple of dozen cars and participants that first year, the Fun Run today is one of the larger annual events held on Route 66. Through the efforts of the Association, Route 66 has been designated as: An Arizona Historic Road; a National Scenic Byway, and now is also as an All-American Road. The Association is among the oldest in the contiguous Route 66 states promoting tourism and preservation of the old highway. In addition, many Route 66 associations in other states and in other countries can draw a direct lineage back to the Historic Route 66 Association in Arizona through either direct support and encouragement, or through inspiration. Visitors from all across the United States, and the world seek out pieces of Arizona’s Route 66 as part of a “pilgrimage” of traveling some or all of the old highway.
