Route 66

Supporters of the major
east to west route from
Chicago to Los Angeles
wanted to follow the
Old Santa Fe Trail,
which would by pass
Oklahoma.

This road would be linked
with the Old Santa Fe Trail
across the Southwest,
which would then be
connected to Beale wagon
route through California
to form the
National Old Trails Road.

Cyrus Avery of Oklahoma,
knew that a major highway
through his state would
boost the state economy
so he relentlessly pushed
for an alternate route.
 
Avery used a little known
trail from the California
Gold Rush that ran through Oklahoma,
as he drew plans for the
route that would become
Route 66.

 He was successful in his
bid to have the new route
pass through his home state.
This route was designated
U.S. Highway 66.
