Route 66 Association
Route 66 Association is the generic name of the non-profit associations established for preservation, restoration and promotion of the historic U.S. Route 66. They exist in all eight Route 66 states: Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California.
The first Route 66 Association was established on U.S. Route 66 in Arizona by businessman Angel Delgadillo. An initial meeting of 15 people on February 18, 1987, in Seligman led to efforts which yielded a state-issued "Historic Route 66" designation for a portion of former Route 66 between Kingman and Seligman later that year. By 1990, similar organizations had been established in all eight U.S. Route 66 states.
The California Historic Route 66 Association is the youngest of the eight, established in December 1990 and dedicated to the U.S. Route 66 in California. It previously published a quarterly newsletter Roadsigns, which includes various news and history related to Route 66 in California, among other things. It published the Guide to Historic Route 66 in California, a travel guide with maps, directions, mileage, photos, and other travel information.
The Historic Route 66 Association of Arizona was established in February 1987 and dedicated to the U.S. Route 66 in Arizona. The Arizona association was instrumental in making the Seligman-Kingman stretch of Route 66 to be officially recognized as "Historic Route 66" later that year, a designation subsequently extended to the whole Route 66 in Arizona.
Seligman businessman Angel Delgadillo was a key early advocate both of the creation of this Route 66 association and of the introduction of the "Historic Route 66" designation and signage.
The New Mexico Route 66 Association is dedicated to the education, promotion and preservation of Historic Route 66 in New Mexico.
The Texas Old Route 66 Association, dedicated to the U.S. Route 66 in Texas, was incorporated in 1991. It publishes the Texas Route 66 Newsletter quarterly and maintains the Texas Route 66 Exhibit, the first Route 66 museum on the route, among other activities.
The Oklahoma Route 66 Association, organized in 1989, is dedicated to the U.S. Route 66 in Oklahoma. It publishes a quarterly newsletter and the Official Oklahoma Route 66 Association Trip Guide.
