The Back StoryMore: U.S. Route 66 , often referred to as the “Main Street of America” was built in the mid-1920s. This route was a major path for those who moved west during the 1930s, 40s and 50s. Route 66 became one of the most famous roads in America when its name was incorporated into the title of a hit song and television show in the 1960s.
The building of America’s major highways—US route 66, US 101, US 1, and US 30—contributed to the rapid economic growth of the 20th century. But for many, the open highway is more than a way to get somewhere. It’s an icon for freedom, and is the legendary backdrop for countless tales of discovery. Where will your next road trip take you?
