Highway 66 Flagstaff West Merle Porter Flagstaff, AZ The first white man to settle in the area was F. F. McMillan whose scouts fastened an American flag to the top of a lofty pine that had its branches stripped in celebration of July 4th, 1876. Travelers were told to go west until they saw that flagstaff. The town of Flagstaff grew with the coming of the railroad in 1882. The highway winds its way through Kaibab Forest west through the town of Williams (named for Old Bill Williams (1787-1849) who was a Baptist circuit rider at the age of 17, later to become a trapper and guide, finally killed by Utes, with whom he had lived - when he went on a spree in their money. Other towns along the highway are the most part cattle raising areas. Ashfork, Seligman and Peach Springs. Kingman has been a cattle town since 1882; today tourists may be seen with local Indians that come to town to trade. |
